Any of the info below may be TMI but i just want to tell the complete story/truth so that someone can help me!
I am a 21 year old college student. I lost my virginity in late 2007 and have only ever had one sex partner. From the first time I had sex I would get a uti. Literally every time I have sex with him, I get UTI symptoms. It usually takes a few hours to a day but the pain with come. Constant burning, feeling like I have to pee. I will pee, it will hurt be dark and smell bad. 5 minutes later I have to pee again. I used to go to the doctor everytime. Then they would put me on an anti biotic then I would get a yeast infection. Then I would take medicine to get rid of my yeast infection. During this time I would not have sex because the anti biotic would cancel out my birth control. Then I would have sex again and go throw the exact same things. I pee before I have sex. I pee after I have sex. Ive tried washing before and after. Hes tried washing. I use a very mild soap. So does he. I only wear cotton underwear. At night I don't wear underwear. I tried cranberry juice. I drink a ton of water. By now I have learned that if I have sex, I can "flush out" the UTI by peeing right after and then drinking an enormous amount of water. So I have became pretty used to this and this is what I usually do. Last december, my boyfriend and I broke up. I stopped having sex and didnt have sex with anyone else. I also studied abroad and began drinking more heavily. I have noticed that i will get the SAME SYMPTOMS if I dont drink a lot of water. And when I say a lot of water I mean like 15 glasses a day. Not 8. For example, yesterday I had friends come from out of town. I drank water at breakfast. Then at lunch I had a fruit smoothie, at dinner I had lemonade and we went to the club and I had 1 beer. When I got home I had a pounding headache and I immediately assumed I was dehydrated. I quickly drank two large water bottles of water. Then the pain came. I was up until 4 AM peeing every 10 minutes. I took AZO tabs *I think I forgot to mention these earlier:: they sometimes help the pain** continued to drink water and finally around 4 am I was relaxed enough to fall asleep. The pain is so severe when it happens. Every time I go to the doctor they just write me an antibiotic to fix it. They dont seem to care that this is a chronic issue. I know that youre probably thinking "so what, drink a lot of water, flush it out and get over it" but this just isn't normal.
any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I feel your pain. I've gone through the same procedures with doctors. Sex is an issue. This is a problem I do not have advice for because I am searching as well. HOWEVER, I have noticed when I eat more fruit, it feels better. That is about all I can tell you, I'm sorry I wish I had the answers.

Just wondering how you made out with your issue and if any doctor has appropriately tried to diagnose you. I had a medical proceedure and put on a very strong antibiotic which made me very suseptible to infections. I got UTI symptoms and just like I usually had in the past got antibiotics thinkiing it would go away within a day. I 've had cipro and bactrim prescribed with very minmal relief and in total have been having symptoms for over 2 weeks. Symptoms seem to go away and come back, very strange. I am 28 years old and only the third or fourth UTI I have had in my life so wondering why so hard to treat this time. Now which is very odd but I am having a tingling sensation. I have no clue what's going on.

I have had the same situation all of my life and have found several things to be true.
If I'm dehydrated, I will definitely get a bladder infection. Try going to a urologist, as this is something that they can give you answers to. We found through testing that a previous surgery from when I was an infant is the culprit. I cannot have this removed, and just live with it. She gave me a pill to take 1-2 days prior to having sex, and it does help - if I know ahead of time. Keeping a journal of what I eat also helps to see if I had triggers, & though we couldn't find one, I know women who have.
I wish you luck, and less problems! I know how badly this affects your life and relationships.

I don't mean to alarm you, but I would see your doctor about having a glucose test completed (blood sugar). Your constant dehydration and need for a high intake of water, well beyond the norm, is a very common sympton of diabetes. If this began to occue when you were 21, then there's a chance you could have juvenile diabetes. If not treated properly, juvenille diabetes can effect other parts of the body, all of which seem unrelated. I would strongly recommend being tested for this as soon as you can.

I have the same problem I get them frequently, and they are really annoying! My recent on started after having sex with my partner and I have no idea why. They get so bad that sometimes I have to sit in the bathroom all night, because I'm scared to leave, because I only have to run straight back again. I have been to the doctors and he gave me some antibiotics and they did get rid of it, but I'm fed up of going to the doctors ALL the time. I have started drinking more water in the hop that this might help, but at the moment it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Can anyone help??
