First time here. Maybe someone had something similar.
It’s from October that I fight with cystitis, last one after a sexual intercorse with my boyfriend.
I had in total 4 cystitis, all four treat worn antibiotics, but from the second one I had a terrible back pain!!!
After a a&e they found (again!!) blood in urine, and white cells... that’s mean infection!!!
Tonight I had this strange sensation to have back pain again, lower back pain... and of course worry to have the same.
I start to think it’s something repeated with my gastrointestinal area because I feel bloating, and all that therapy with antibiotics for sure didn’t help.
I did ct scan and no kidney stones and all that area was perfect! Just constipation

I’ve had a distended stomach, and back pain myself with cystitis, it’s unpleasant but quite common. And, sometimes symptoms can appear after sex, brought on by friction. If the problem doesn’t clear up, it can take a while for antibiotics to work, discuss with your doctor whether you need a referral for investigation.
Yes, you can get a UTI from having sex, especially if you're a woman. “During sexual intercourse, thrusting can introduce bacteria up the urethra and into the bladder, increasing the risk of a UTI,” explains Dr. Lakeisha Richardson, MD, OB-GYN.19 Nov 2019

There are lots of creams, etc that you can use for dryness, even natural things. Research it & look on Amazon. I use Replens & some women use coconut oil. If you're dry you need something inside of you. Probiotics might help too, your ph could be off from the antibiotics & your good bacteria too. You could ask a gyno or NP too.
Hey Cote88. I have had many bouts of cystitis some bacterial and most non bacterial. When you’re someone who is too familiar with cystitis you know when it’s coming on and if you can intervene before it sets in you’ll save yourself a lot of grief and pain! Solidago by Avogel from the health food store and lots and lots of water are your best friends with cystitis! Keep hydrated, avoid alcohol and caffeine and empty your bladder after intercourse. Take a probiotic especially after all the antibiotics. I’m not sure about the back pain. The only time I got back pain was one time when the cystitis spread to my kidneys after a course of antibiotics failed to clear the infection. Sorry to hear you’re suffering with this. I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck.x
