Is anyone on medication to prevent UTIs from sex?

I’m immune compromised and very prone to infections. I had 7-8 utis in a year and finally my doctor put me on a medication that I take before sex to help prevent a uti. I was still doing all things you’re supposed like keeping clean, using the right soaps, and peeing afterwards but would still get them. Does anyone have a similar experience? I hate that we can’t have spontaneous sex anymore but its great to not have a constant uti after almost a year and half.

Are you taking D-mannose? I was prone to UTIs and once I started taking that supplement they happen very rarely. Look into Uqora too.

During pregnancy I have but not any other time. Although I know of people that take one after each time they have sex to prevent it. Have they ruled out any other reasons as to why you might be getting them so often even though you are also immune compromised? You could be damaging your gut having to take antibiotics so often and could possibly become immune to many of them down the track from overuse
