Utis

My GP offered me vaginal oestrogen the other week. I’ve settled for trying just a moisturiser for now as mine was oestrogen positive and I have radiotherapy next week. I will take her up on it if the moisturiser isn’t enough though as it’s clearly deemed safe and is meant to combat UTIs and vaginal atrophy.

Not super likely because of being a second baby. If you haven’t delivered vaginally it’s usually expected to take just as long as a first labor. But if you’re feeling back pain and cramping it’s might be worth getting checked out! UTIs can cause preterm labor for example.

Recently found out there is actually no solid wide-scale evidence to suggest that peeing after sex prevents UTI’s. I have also seen some past posts on reddit where people act as if it’s 100% because it’s simply a wives tale but I disagree. The fact that there’s no solid evidence on the topic despite so many FAB’s reporting UTI’s when they don’t pee after sex is because there has been no large scope academic studies done on the topic and that is a symptom of injustices in female health. Gynaecologists still recommend peeing within 15-30 minutes after sex, if it truly didn’t do anything because there had been several large scale studies to suggest it’s useless then they wouldn’t be recommending the practice. Yes, there is currently no evidence to suggest it helps to prevent UTI’s but it doesn’t hurt to do it and if you need to pee or you find it helpful to after intercourse – JUST DO IT! Myself and almost every person with a vulva I’ve talked to has found that when not peeing after sex (especially if typically not peeing after sex) they get a UTI. If your experience is different that’s totally okay and valid – no female body (or any body in general) is the same but to preach that “oh there’s no evidence it actually does anything so stop saying it does“ ignores the experiences of so many people and fails to consider that lack of consistent evidence is because the health industry decided that doing a large methodologically-sound study on the topic isn’t important. I know it’s hypocritical to say this but, bringing up this discussion to invalidate the advice given by people with female anatomy is useless and ignores the structural inequalities that cause there to be no conclusive evidence. Sorry for the rant! Thanks to anyone who reads this, I’m very passionate about how the health industry neglects the female body (especially reproductive health and experiences). submitted by /u/zestylimes1560 to r/TwoXChromosomes [link] [comments]

I was putting off getting treatment thinking I could wait until my appointment even though my antibiotics weren’t doing anything to the infection. Well I just spent the night in the ER with a systemic infection, showing up so delirious that I could barely even remember my date of birth or what year it was, couldn’t stand, had a heart rate spiking at around 140 BPM, low blood pressure, high cortisol, nausea, low fever, and I was convinced I was going to pass out on the drive there. I’m now on 5 different antibiotics. Everyone who told me to go the ER was correct and I could’ve died from what was previously just a UTI. 😓 Sounds rich coming from me after I put off treatment before, but trust your gut if you think something’s wrong. I could’ve gotten organ failure and died had I waited longer. submitted by /u/Evening-Historian527 to r/TwoXChromosomes [link] [comments]

For context: This is Toad, he’s a one year old boy and pretty much my entire world. The past few weeks since he got fixed he’s been acting funny, peeing on everything for seemingly no reason. The story begins here, a few days ago he peed on a gray plastic bag (that was next to his litter box as preparation for its next cleaning). I didn’t know what to do other than pick it up and throw it out, as I was doing that, a few drops landed on his pillow, they were a dark pink color. My brain immediately went to “UTI! That’s why he’s been peeing on everything!” I’ll admit I panicked. I started searching for vets in my area, they were all closed. I expanded my search to a 20 mile radius, made some calls, ultimately ended with me getting an appointment 3 days out at a Petco 30 minutes away. I explain what’s going on to the vet, they take him back for an ultrasound and to extract a urine sample. A bit later they bring him back and I’m told that everything looks fine internally, his urine visibly looked fine as well, but the culprit was a flea that had made its way inside of him and had been feeding on his penis. That’s where the blood had been coming from. They removed it of course, but my god, that was an expensive flea. Moral of the story is,, sometimes it’s not a UTI. Sometimes it’s a flea biting your cats dick paired with behavioral issues. Never in a million years could I have predicted this outcome. Hope yall enjoyed this rollercoaster more than I did. 😅 submitted by /u/SpookySeraph to r/OneOrangeBraincell [link] [comments]

23F, 60 kg, 5’6 no smoking/alcohol/drugs Hi, I get really bad UTI every month and when I get it, I just cannot move anywhere. My entire lower body burns and hurts, I basically double over and lie down. I keep going to docs, but every month?? It’s frustrating. They give me nitrofurantoin for one week, everytime, but that’s it. I took an usg last time this happened, and everything came back normal (they discovered a left ovarian cyst, but the doc said it was small and not producing any menstrual symptoms, so no need to worry) I am at my wit’s end cause I don’t know what else to do??? Do I have to take antibiotics for the rest of my life?? submitted by /u/something-um-bananas to r/AskDocs [link] [comments]

I’ve suffered from constant UTIs since I was 10 years old. I’ve had a few that have showed up on urinalysis but the majority don’t. The standard symptoms appear without fail; burning sensation, urgency, general pain. I’ve been on amoxicillin so many times I’ve developed a resistance to it. The only medication that brings me relief is Fosfomycin but at this point I’m scared I’ll develop a resistance to that as well. My last course was 7 days of Levofloxacin but my burning sensation hasn’t gone away. I take d-mannose pretty much daily, I’ve cut down on coffee so much I drink one every few days, I drink around 3L of water a day, I don’t use anything but water on my private parts when washing, I wear cotton underwear only, I don’t smoke or take drugs, I pee after every sexual encounter (no more encounters as of late after a breakup so I know it’s not sex related) but I still get a UTI ONCE A MONTH. IM DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT. I’ve been tested for both mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and a full std panel too. I’m in the clear for all. I get my urine sent to the lab each time but 99% of the time nothing comes up. WHAT DO I DO. My GP has pretty much exhausted all options. My urologist says my kidneys are perfectly healthy. I’ve no kidney stones. Please, can someone give me any advice? Idc how ridiculous it is. If it’s helped get rid of cUTIs I’ll try ANYTHING. If it’s medication I’ll happily chat to my gp this week. Anything at all. I’m at a loss. Please help. submitted by /u/randomemememe to r/Healthyhooha [link] [comments]

It’s a theory, anyway. My mother and I both get UTI’s all the time. It sucks. We both are very careful about all the typical prevention methods. Except for one!!! Poor interoception. We don’t pee often enough. Literally, I’m pretty sure I’ve found the blindspot. The ASD makes it so our brains aren’t recognizing that we need to pee until we can’t hold it anymore. And! When my hyper-focus is triggered, we’ve both trained ourselves to ignore the urge. So I wasn’t realizing it was happening. I realized it yesterday. I’ve been using the Finch app (which I should do a whole other post about, really can’t recommend it highly enough), and instead of focusing on the “drink water” goal, I added the goal of “peeing as soon as I need to” and set a goal of 4 times. Ya’ll. I am embarrassed to report that it made me realize that I typically pee maybe twice on a good day. Going “right when I need to” is uncomfortable! It forces so many more transitions into my day. Especially since I have dysautonomia, which makes standing a whole thing. ETA: Oops, didn’t mean to hit Post yet. Anyway, I’m thrilled. I was starting to feel symptoms yesterday and I don’t feel any today. It’s wild how shifting a mindset can really help tackle a problem. If I think about “drinking water,” that’s a goal I’m used to ignoring. But the goal of, “make sure you’re peeing at least 4+ times today” really made a world of difference! submitted by /u/midnight_coziness to r/AuDHDWomen [link] [comments]

I was going through a living hell with recurrent UTIs after sex. You can read past posts for context. Here’s what helped: took a post coital antibiotic for 6 months, but honestly I was so scared of taking it too much/resistance that I only probably took it about 20 times during that time. However I do think this gave my bladder time to heal. got tested and treated for ureaplasma. Both me & my partner did 14 days of antibiotic treatment using an online doctor & tested negative after. throughout UTIs, d mannose helped but never prevented. I still take it after sex just in case it helps. I tried all sorts of stuff, showering, vitamins, probiotics, lube, diet changes, pelvic floor therapy - nothing helped for 2-3 years until I got proper antibiotic treatment. ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF. I don’t know if the ureaplasma was the problem or if those 14 days of antibiotics just cleared the ecoli, but it’s been 9 months UTI free & I was honestly in such a dark place so don’t let doctors fob you off. If you feel like it’s a UTI, it probably is. submitted by /u/Charming-Farm300 to r/utis [link] [comments]

As someone who suffers from chronic UTI’s - I feel super overwhelmed and in shock that today someone I know passed away from UTI complications. He essentially said “i get them all the time” and didn’t go to the doctor. By the next day he could no longer walk - and had to call an ambulance. In the ambulance, he suffered a heart attack and had 6 strokes. After an MRI they discovered internal bleeding and kidney failure. He was taken off of life support today. I’m 27 and he’s only a few years older than me and I just can’t believe that something i’ve suffered from since 5th grade can actually be fatal and i’m witnessing it first hand. PLEASE get your symptoms checked out if you think you have a UTI or have lower back pain! especially as women i know a lot of our symptoms get pushed to the side but please advocate for yourself if you think something is wrong! I really don’t mean to scare anybody and as someone who also has health anxiety I know this can be terrifying to read but it CAN be prevented submitted by /u/emoney1018 to r/Healthyhooha [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, Last year was a particularly challenging one for me as I faced an endless cycle of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Within just six months, I experienced five UTIs, which left me feeling scared and desperate for a solution. I tried everything I could think of to prevent another infection, from cranberry pills and D-mannose to various herbs recommended by my doctor. Despite these efforts, the infections kept recurring. Fed up with the repeated cycles, I insisted that my doctor prescribe a longer course of antibiotics. I was then put on a 10-day course, which was longer than the previous treatments. To my relief, this seemed to be more effective. In addition to changing my medication regimen, I made significant lifestyle adjustments. Reduced Alcohol Intake: Limited my alcohol consumption to once or twice a month. Cut Back on Sugary Drinks: Avoided beverages high in sugar to discourage the growth of harmful bacteria. Started to take Probiotic: During the meeting, the doctor also suggested that the antibiotics I had been taking might kill all of the good bacteria in my urinary tract, leaving it more vulnerable to infection. So I started to take probiotics. Began eating yogurt daily. Started drinking probiotic supplements every day, focusing on those containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus reuteri, and Lactobacillus crispatus, which are researched to help prevent UTIs. It's now been six months since my last UTI, and I feel like I've finally broken the cycle. I hope this experience will help those that are struggling with chronic UTIs! submitted by /u/whitetiger079 to r/TheGirlSurvivalGuide [link] [comments]

Hey there. I am a 22 year old female and I have gotten multiple UTIs every year since 17. 5-10 a year. As we all know, they are awful. And I try my best to do everything right to avoid getting one. Pee before/after sex, wipe front to back, clean underwear always, shower daily, lots of water, basically everything they tell us to do to avoid. My Dr. says if I get X amount in one year I will need to see a specialist. I think it’s like 10 in a year? One time I was one month too late to make that cut. (Specialists rules where I live, not my Drs.) I get ABOs and then everything is fine for maybe a few months… until I get another one. I’ve read some woman’s urethras are shorter which can be part of the problem. Has anyone discovered this and how were you treated? Did it help? What other reasons were you given on why you seem to always have one? Has anyone found something that has seemed to help, like a probiotic or something? Also, there have been a couple times I’ve had all the regular symptoms, I go get tested (being 100% sure it’s a UTI) and the test comes back negative. They send it off for a culture and still, negative. Why would I have UTI symptoms but no UTI? They never really give me a straight answer… Which then scares me into thinking STD. I’ve only had 1 partner my whole life. We have been together for 7 years. I don’t mean to be naive or anything but I don’t believe he’s cheating on me and giving me an STD. I don’t have any other STD symptoms except the ones that are shared with UTI. And I guess I assume they test for that when you go in with these symptoms, just to rule it out… Anyways, any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! submitted by /u/Glittering-Couple768 to r/TwoXChromosomes [link] [comments]

First of all, I don't think there's anything I haven't tried: drinking plenty of water keeping my feet warm loose clothing (including no thongs) pre and post contact hygiene (both me and my partner) urinating right after sex not holding on when I have to pee making sure I empty my bladder when I urinate showering after no 2 preventing constipation using only ph balanced hygiene products taking probiotics cranberry tea d-mannose products different URI-starting products combination of different products for as long as 6 months though they were expensive as hell kidney check ups bladder check ups partner check ups Strovac (vaccine) autovaccines (vaccine made from my own specific bacteria at a National Institute of Research & Development for Microbiology & Immunology) buying all new panties (cotton only) and towels and making sure I wash them at high enough temperature - after the antibiotic treatment there was a time when tests said no urinary infection so I won't go into the long lists of what I tried but I'll mention surgeries, laser treatments, and injections. etc. ​ Living with recurrent UTIs and so much pain affected my life on so many levels including my job, the way I socialized.. I was very motivated to get rid of the pain. So believe me when I say, I tried it all. And it all failed me. ​ Ok, so you want to know what finally worked and my advice on how to get rid of the UTIs forever? Go to the doctor when pain is at it's worst, ask for a urine culture & sensitivity test. Take two sensitivity tests at different labs if you want to be sure about the result. I can't stress how important it is to know what antibiotics you are resistant to (and unfortunately how some labs don't do their job too well). And it's important to prep the sample in a morning when the pain is at it's worst, because that's when the bacteria is most likely to show up. Go to a gynecologist for the treatment. An urologist usually just prescribes the substance for the UTI but the gynecologist will give you something to prevent/treat candida also. This step is especially important if you had other antibiotic treatments in the past. Also make sure the doctor prescribes something you are not resistant to. They're human, they make mistakes. Take your antibiotics from start to end as per your doctor's instructions. Double check to make sure when you should take them. Before meals, after meals, one or two hours after meals? How much time between the antibiotic and the probiotic? Many substances have different optimal times of administration. Of course look out for allergy signs. If the pain stops 1-2 days after starting the antibiotics that's a very good sign, but don't make the common mistake to stop taking them. That's how most people become resistant to antibiotics. Ok, and now here comes the part you're not going to like at all. Since day 1 of antibiotics also STOP eating products that contain sugar or white flour and stop drinking alcohol. If you want that to be the last day of UTI pain, stop eating and drinking those things. It's either them and pain, or living without them but free of pain. Once the treatment is over, you'll be UTI pain free as long as you can be abstinent from them. But consume them, and you'll get the infection again. ​ I know it's difficult to avoid processed foods and alcohol basically, in a world where they are marketed everywhere, but it is possible. There's an abundance of delicious clean food out there that you can have, there are many support groups that you can join to get help in succeeding with this, and just like any new skill, you'll get better at it in time and find it easier and easier to do. And you want to know the best part? All that I listed above that I tried and did not work? Doesn't even matter once you get rid of the infection and stop consuming any of the things that feed the bacteria. Many things from the list above became habits for me but I can skip them and I am amazed how I don't get the pain anymore. So there you have it, that's how I got rid of the recurring UTIs after 20 years of having them (150 days now without pain and going strong - never happened before in my life). Keeping my fingers crossed it works for you also. ​ BTW: Do you know how not having the pain anymore feels like? Like constant pleasure :) submitted by /u/Outrageous_Egg8781 to r/CUTI [link] [comments]

Its not something I'm even ashamed of at this point, I will say it outright: I have 'been with' a good handful of people. UTIs and bladder issues run in my family pretty heavily. However, I notice that only certain people that I have sex with cause me to have UTIs. For example in a 5 year relationship of mine I never had a single UTI. But with my boyfriend now, they have been coming back to back, almost every time we have sex I feel like a day or two later I have pain down there. Part of my concern is that he is not hygenic enough. I dont really know. I have already encouraged him to improve his hygiene multiple times which he has been doing. And yet it still happens. I know people will say to go to the doctor. But I have social anxiety and generally want to avoid that if I can just because I feel like there should be something more for me to do first. I try to drink a lot of water but im not great at it. Any advice would be appreciated! Update: I ended up making a doctors appointment to discuss everything with them and hopefully it gets better. I am so thankful for the advice and support I've gotten here, and it will be very useful! You guys are awesome!! submitted by /u/ApprehensiveTailor98 to r/TooAfraidToAsk [link] [comments]
