Why do I get UTIs after sex?


Question:
I am having a terrible problem with UTIs after intercourse. I have tried complete bikini wax, urinating and rinsing with water immediately after sex. It is miserable. Why is this happening and what can I do to prevent it?

Answers:
Unfortunately, it may be that your body is more prone to them. Either physical aspects or chemical. Either way, it seems your body allows the toxins in easier than others. Living's answer is right on the mark. Try insane cleanliness for a bit and see what the results are. It may hinder the enjoyment, but the knowlege will be usefull. Keeping a diary may help too. If you go to a doctor and show that you scrubbed for 5 minutes with dial antibacterial soap both before and after and still got it. They may start thinking of other options.

Good luck and happy, uhm, experimenting!
