HOW TO PREVENT RECURRENT UTIs AFTER SEX - Dr. Rejuvenation

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs anywhere along the urinary tract, which includes the bladder, kidneys, ureters (the tubes that take urine from the kidneys to the bladder), and urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder). For some women, urinary tract infections can bring uncomfortable symptoms lasting days at a time, and may be a recurrent problem indicating the risk of more serious infections. If you've had more than two UTIs in one year, we encourage you to consult with Frisco, TX (and surrounding areas Plano, Allen & McKinney) urogynecologist, Dr. Aimee Nguyen. A thorough examination, diagnosis and treatment plan will be provided so that your gynecological health can be restored.

SYMPTOMS:
UTIs have a range of symptoms including:
•Frequent urge to urinate
•The inability to urinate despite the urge
•Pain during urination
•Cloudy urine, or blood in the urine
•Pelvic pressure
•Severe pelvic cramping and bloating
•Low grade fever

CAUSES:
Several causes exist for UTIs including:
•Genetic predisposal
•Sexual activity
•Foreign body in the urinary tract such as a kidney or bladder stone
•Pelvic organ prolapse

TREATMENT:
Urinary tract infections are usually treated with antibiotics. Recurrent UTIs are usually treated with a long-term, preventative low dose of antibiotics. Vaginal estrogen therapy may also be used to prevent UTIs in post-menopausal women. Other steps can be taken by patients to prevent recurrent UTIs, including:
•Consistent hydration
•Urinating before and after sexual intercourse
•Avoiding the use of diaphragms and spermicides
•Avoiding the use of feminine sprays, douches, or powders
