OMG I HATE THEM! Does anyone have any tips on how not to get them? Besides "cleaning up" after sex and urinating before, drinking water, not holding your urine in for too long? Because JEEZ I've had like at least 5 since last August and I think I'm going to kill someone if I get another one! I just had to go fill a prescription which is a PITA at my local pharmacy, it took me like half an hour to wait when I had even called it in. Plus I don't have another refill left so that means next time (crossing my fingers that there ISN'T a next time!) I will have to wait and be uncomfortable for like 3 days so I can get into the doctor. RAWR!


On a side note: I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately! I've been busy getting my stuff together finally! On Friday I have an appointment to register for classes this summer and fall at a local college! I am so excited! I *think* I am going to do a two year nursing program for Licensed Practical Nursing and then probably continue for my RN. We'll see though! But I'm sooo excited!!! :) :) :)

I thought the same thing about five UTIs since August - way out of line and dangerous. I think your comment that the male has responsibilities in the bedroom is so important and rarely mentioned in this regard.

I know you also mentioned that you get up and pee after sex, and commented that men can get UTIs, which I have heard of. It's one of the reasons that we use condoms when having anal sex. There is a male poster on these message boards who has talked about having two UTIs from unprotected anal sex. I can't recall who it is, though.
