hey, be open and honest with your doctor regarding your physical symptoms! i had a problem with UTI's awhile back. had to get antibiotics. they say to urinate both before and after sex. i also stopped drinking pop and started drinking alot of water. also cranberry juice or cranberry supplements can really help prevention. in the US there is now an over the counter test kit to verify if u have a UTI. oh, and i stopped taking baths, only showers. and the hardest part, is to not have sex while you have a UTI. :)

They sell stuff at the store like Walmart called AZO I think in the vitamin section. There is one to prevent UTI's and the other is to help symptoms of them. Drink Cranberry juice. I would pick up the AZO cranberry supplement if you don't like cranberry juice but that should help cut them down a bit. You'll need med from dr to cure UTI or it will keep comin back.

Try eatting yogurt and a healthy diet. If they do not go away, your doctor can give a prescription to some pills that you take about a half hour before sex, and it will prevent you from getting one. Also, drink lots of water, and go pee before and after sex, within 10 minutes afterwards! Good luck

Well, to help myself from getting them I take cranberry juice pills (from GNC or any vitamin store). And once I feel one coming on, I take AZO also. Drink lots of water--like to the point where you think you can't drink anymore. I also had one really bad and couldn't get rid of it, so I just went to my regular physician (not obgyn) and he gave me a prescription. It worked really good. But be careful because bad uti's can lead to yeast infections very quickly. good luck...

are you sure that they are UTI's? it's possible it could be a bladder infection are something else. drinking lots of water are really the only ways to get rid of anything like that but I still would recommend you to see a doctor. It's not good to have sex like that becuase your setting yourself up for infection while you have a uti are bladder infection and that could cause serious problems on the inside of your body.

you just need to be more careful with hygiene issues. First, if oral sex is part of your habit, please ask your partners to use antibacterial mouthwash prior to that activity. Second, be sure to go and urinate immediately after intercourse, and of course wipe front to back. Third, drink at least 2 liters of water every day. This should cut down greatly on the number of UTIs you have.

Well...I'm sorry to tell you this girl but you have to cut back on sex...You are having too much sex that is why you probably have uti's on and off. Just having a penis and two different fingers are just too much action for your vagina, so if you really trying to get rid of this try to cut back for at least a month until you feel better...than just make sure you drink lots of water and cranberry juice, and also make sure that you douche or clean yourself very well before after different partner...good luck!

drink cranberry juice, take cranberry pills and urinate after sexual contact to make sure that no bacteria is pushed up into your urethra. i have the same problem and this works for me. the amount of sex makes no difference either, just make sure that you urinate and clean up afterwards. hope it works for you, uti's are the most evil thing ever!!!

Ignore these prudes telling you to cut back!!! I'm bi and love it ... constantly lol. Make sure to pee before and after, vitamins, cranberry juice, ice coffee. Also please tell the obgyn everything or he or she can't help. maybe they'll get turned on by it and you'll have another playmate!!
