female only meopuse sex= UTI

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Anyone know any homeopatic ways to ward off UTI. I've had to take an antibiotic before sex for years now and they aren't working anymore. Have had several recent UTIs followed by a yeast infection.

It was suggested on another board to use lube and that would cut down on UTI. I have been under the care of a urologist for years now but I still have problems.

I am going to try D Mannose Has anyone heard of it? I've heard of women having luck using that. It's very expensive though. It's supposed to make it so bacteria can't stick. Gawd I hope so .

I hope the the other board's suggestion of more lube helps. Maybe if it's slippery enough, bacteria can't stick l I am willing to try anything!

If it is a UTI (bladder/urinary tract infection) and NOT vaginal infection.....cranberry extract capsules help the pH in the urine become more acidic which helps inhibit the bacteria from spreading. You can buy them over the counter next to Vitamins.< /p>

I had the same problem. I wear a thing called a femring. It is an vaginal estrogen delivery system but the estrogen does not go systemic. You have to replace it every three months. I rarely get those nasty UTI' s now. Do a google search for it. It is a prescription. Having frequent UTI's after menopause in not rare. You may have to educate your doc about it. Having seen a variety of docs preparing for this surgery, many had not heard of it. It has been a life saver for me.

Make sure you pee right before and right after sex. I know it's not romantic but the hubby knows I am going to pee and wash up right afterwards.

Blueberry extract as well as the cranberry work well in preventing UTI's.

I wish you well.
