I’m brand-new to the community so hello I was just wondering how anybody deals with frequent UTI’s. I’m in an intimate relationship; I have been for a year now and probably in the past year I have gotten 5 or 6 UTI’s. I’m even coming off of one right now, I took antibiotics for 10 days and today is my first day off and I’m still experiencing some discomfort.
It’s just really discouraging and disruptful (which it turns out is NOT a word) to always have this fear in the back of my mind, because I always pee after sex without fail, I stay hydrated, and I take a cranberry supplement every day!
My saving grace is that they are not painful (no blood or burning when i pee)! It is just extreme urgency even when I don’t have to go, and then I’m stuck on the toilet feeling like i have to pee and barely peeing for like 30m and feeling like a train hit me. but i’m sure you guys know how all that is.
Is there something new for me to try? Do people who are prone to UTI’s like me have some sort of medication they can use to prevent them?
thanks for listening to me :^) i feel a little bit better just having typed all this out.
