Does anyone here have Cysts/Chronic UTI's?

[catnapper]

Are you sure its related to the sex thing? Have you changed anything else: your type of tampon, your type of underwear? These are just as common triggers as sex. My youngest was getting them chronically at 13 (and yes, we certain she wasn't active) and it turned out to be both her underwear, and the type of tampon she used, as well as how long the tampon was in.

PS: I surely hope you're on the pill AND using condoms. Cameron is living proof how easy it is to get pregnant at 17.

I'm going to the walk in clinic tonight because I think my current UTI might have gone to my kidney's causing a kidney infection.
I really hope it's nothing serious.
You guys have helped though thank you.

One thing my OB/GYN had also pounded in to my head was when you have sex, I don't care how much you want to be cuddly and all that, when you are done, get up and go pee!!! Immediately. You need to flush out the area down there, and when you have sex, you're rubbing up into the urethra and germs and stuff get in there, and so if you pee right after sex, it makes a big difference, because all that stuff is being flushed back out.

I agree with CatNapper too... please please please use protection. Sometimes when you're with one partner and your body is use to them and you stop doing the pee thing, and then are with someone else and you just don't remember to get up and pee, your body will react again. It's strange germs in there, and your body is reacting.

My friend at school that I teach with gets them from her husband all the time, lol. She said she's always saying "Get that thing away from me!!"

So seriously, wash wash wash beforehand. Use protection. Then pee afterwards and then go back and cuddle. If the guy gets pissed off, then he's not worth it and doesn't care about your health and well-being.

Oh, they also sell cranberry caplets at the health food stores too. You can find a lot of OTC things for this stuff, but if it's an infection (pee in a cup, and if you visually see the puss and the blood clots -- sounds gross, but believe me, it's better to know what to look for than to be grossed out) you need to get treatment. And yeah, take ALL the meds!!!

I just got back and he said I do have one. I also had a little fever he said to just keep a eye on.

I still have a doctors appointment on Monday so I will talk to them then.
For now I'm on antiobiotics and taking cranberry pills.
Oh and I have started to go pee after that too.

Cranberry juice is great for UTI's. JennLibrarian is right. What you have sounds like "Honeymoon Cystitis", common in sexually active females. My doctor told me the same thing...PEE after sex.

Since I have gotten pregnant I have had three UTI.. I have actually had one for the last three weeks without it letting up at all.. I have blood in my urin, ALOT of it.. and it is VERY painful, really bad cramps, feels like I am peeing razors.. I wouldnt wish this pain on my worst enemy, its that bad... And because I am pregnant I cant take any really effective medications for it. So I am pretty much stuck with it.. and at this point I am ready to just keel over..
UTI can be caused by intercorse, but if you arn't pregnant they have really effective treatment for them. So you get the pills and it goes away in a couple days.

Though I am sympathetic to your condition, I can't believe all the details are being discussed here. It should at least be in the Dog House. I'm open minded and all that but some of this here was TMI for me. This is, after all, a family site. Maybe pms to discuss more details? That said, I hope it's nothing serious.
