Sex After a Uti / Kidney Infection? Posted: 08-13-06 09:33am
My girlfriend and I have been having sex
for about two months now, however two
weeks ago she developed a urinary tract
infection that eventually spread to her
kidney's, which apparently was caused by
e.Coli. She will be done with her
regiment of antibiotics in a few days and
is feeling much much better, however the
two of us do not know when it is safe to
start having sex again. My first question
is if there is generally a safe point
after such an infection that it is ok to
have sex again...We are both getting
anxious and frustrated that we cannot
right now, but we also both do not want to
rush into anything and potentially make
the problem come back or worsen?
My second question is I know we are not
supposed to be having sex/intercoarse
during this time, but we are both
wondering if such things as mutual
masterbation, specifically me touching
her, is safe or if all forms of sexual
interaction should be avoided?
My third question is that since she is on
antibiotics, we have heard that this
affects the birthcontrol she is taking.
Since my girlfriend absolutly hates
condoms, we are wondering for how long
does the antibiotics affect this if at
all? Thanks in advance for any and all
help!
