I've heard that a lot of women get on a regular antibiotic regimen for reoccurring after-sex UTIs. I thought this might be the best idea for me until I realized that, hey, I'm on the Pill. I can't really do that.
The obvious thing to do would be to just use condoms, but no...I'm a paranoid little girl and I wouldn't have sex anywhere near as often if I weren't using both condoms and birthcontrol. Which means there would be no need to take the antibiotics.
So, aside from wiping front-to-back and using the bathroom before and after sex, which I do to no avail...what can I do to prevent reoccuring UTIs?
Also, my boyfriend pointed out that I seem to not get infections when I'm completely relaxed and I actually manage to orgasm...a rare occurance when we both live at home and I'm always worried about who might come in. Plus, I get a little uncomfortable during sex sometimes because of past abuse. Do you think there is any truth to this theory?
