I am always getting cystitis, mainly due to sex (I figure, since when I'm single I don't get it.) Is there anything I can do to stop this? Apart from drink cranberry juice and pee after sex! Which I already do.
And don't say 'don't have sex'!!!

Apart from what you already do, theres not much more I can suggest. Always pee after sex, that will help wash out bacteria. Drink plenty of water & cranberry juice. Wear cotton knickers, as these alow the skin to breath easier, and doesnt allow a build of of moister & dampness down there. Also, if you can, try & avoid wearing tights for the same reason.
It`s not a nice thing to have, I know....
Good luck.

I had this problem when I was dating too. My doctor said to always pee before and after sex and to clean yourself up really good right after sex. In other words, don't have nasty wet hot sex and then roll over and go to sleep without cleaning yourself off down there first. I usually wash with soap and water within 10 minutes after sex and I also pee. Since I've been doing that, I haven't had any problems. Try this and see if it helps.
