Good morning all!
A few years ago we were in a bad place where we pretty much were not having sex at all (slowly declining over several years). I'm glad to say over the past 2 years we have/are turning things around and we are pretty much having a renaissance in our relationship. We have sex most days, occasionally we have a day or two rest. It is like I have my husband back :smile2:. So happy atm.
However, since we have started having regular sex I also have been prone to regular cystitis. The first time I experienced this was pretty much when sex started up again. I had never experienced it before and had to look up the symptoms. After leaving it too long I ended up with a very painful kidney infection last year so I have become hyper vigilant in trying to prevent it. I shower every morning and evening just before sex, I pee after sex and clean myself with wet wipes. I wipe my vibes with antibac wipes and then the following morning wash them under a running tap with antibac soap. I leave them to air dry before putting them away. My husband as far as I can tell is very clean, he always showers before sex and is aware that bacteria is causing me this problem so is being extra specially careful.
The only thing that I can think of is that sex has become more vigorous and we may push for several orgasms (could it be that this is the cause?).
I have a new GP and tbh he is not very good but just about adequate. His English is poor and has a terrible bedside manner. I tried asking him but he didn't seem to offer me any help other than prescribing antibiotics. I would rather prevent the problem in the first place.
Anyone else had the same problem? If so what helps. I am feeling exhausted from being awake during the night with the pain. :frown2:
