Inevitable Infections After Sex? Posted: 04-17-07 19:10pm
I have a very annoying problem. When I am
in relationship I am constantly having
urinary infections. I am keeping hygiene
and doing everything to avoid that but it
looks inevitable. Also my vagina is always
dry and I am tired of using so much
lubricant. What to to with infections and
what causes dryness?

There are a few different causes of
dryness. Here are some sites that talk
about the causes and what you might be
able to do about it:

i suppose if you are dry this could mean
your urethral opening is getting irritated
more easily. this could be a factor.
i used to get urinary infections all the
time too. it was a pain in the ass. the
thing that seems to have made it better is
going to the toilet after sex. you are
supposed to do this to flush out
infections.
at the time my boyfriend was living with
his parents, so to get to the bathroom i
had to go down a ladder, across his hall
past his parents. lol. that wasnt
happening! since he's moved house it's
much easier to get to a toilet, i've been
peeing straight after sex and it seems to
have stopped the problem.
cranberry juice is supposed to help
prevent cystitis by stopping the infection
sticking to your bladder wall.... you can
also get cranberry tablets which i have
been taking daily, i think this has
helped.
have you tried these things? it's still
happening? well there is a condition women
can get called intersitial cystitis or
something. doctor's often misdiagnose it
as a simple urinary track infection. this
is something worth investigating. ask your
doctor

Like mentioned, cranberries are very good
for urinary involved infections. However,
don't drink the juice unless you make it
yourself. Store bought stuff is
pasteurized and loaded with sugar. Sugar
isn't good for infections. So tablets or
actual cranberries is the best way.
D-Mannose is another supplement useful and
is often contained in Cranberry tablet
products.
Another thing is probiotics, or beneficial
bacteria. It can be gotten from organic,
plain (remember, sugar is bad) yogurt, but
probably best taken by supplement form to
ensure it gets past the stomach acids.
Look for enteric coated. Probiotics help
with immunity, digestion, and keeping bad
bacteria in check. It's very essential to
health and some are sold specifically for
women to prevent and care for infections
such as yeast.

If you are dry all the time and you don't
think it is because of lack of foreplay or
something (which is common) then you
should probably go to the doctor. There
are many things that can make a woman more
dry, including birth control. What birth
control do you use?
I also have to pee every time I have sex
or I get uti's. Luckily, as long as I do
this, I am fine.
