Hello everyone,

So I’ve been dealing with bladder infections my entire life and my ENTIRE LIFE it’s been a problem for obvious reasons lol. Well here I am once again waking up to discover with my first pee of the day I’m almost certain I have a bladder infection YET AGAIN! I was sexually intimate with my fiancé of almost 10 years two days ago the fist day waking up after being intimate with him that night before we had went to bed I peed after, I got up to pee right when waking up and I had a little stinging/burning sensation while urinating after I did I chose to still sit on the toilet because I had the feeling to want to keep pushing as if I knew I still had to pee well of course if you’d guessed I did not have to pee anymore so I’m thinking to myself hmm I hope I’m not getting a bladder infection! Seeing that I always pee after being intimate with my partner and for a long time I went so far as to shower before and after and go pee before as well as after just to be extra extra safe!! Because god knows I do not want another UTI! Well obviously I couldn’t keep that up for every single time we got intimate but when I could I would. But what a mood killer right!? Mm hot and heavy eeerrrrrr PAUSE!!! Let me go shower quick 🤦‍♀️🫠 yea big mood killer! So at this point I once again believe I have a bladder infection mind you I had just gone to the dr a few weeks ago (Dec. 12th) for can you guesss a bladder infection for once tho the very first time that visit I was wrong and it was not a bladder infection but never got any reason for the issues I was having while going to the restroom it felt 100% like a bladder infection I was having pain and cramps and a lot of discomfort. But today I am having the exact same problems and I’m almost scared to call the dr and once again say hey doc. Think I have a bladder infection again 🤥 I feel like they believe I must be not wiping right or not peeing after sex or being dirty or something stupid causing it to happen!Like I know how to wipe I’m a 26 year old I’ve been wiping my whole life! Lol but for real! I feel like when I call about other things not even a UTI it’s like it’s in my head or I’m just a baby and any little discomfort I’m going to the docs..I literally feel crazy but it’s like Ik my body right?? Also I only have one functioning kidney the other is enlarged so only one of my kidneys are working and filtering the urine one kidney does it all. But anyways I’m on here writing this to try and get some new eyes on my situation or some advice from someone else going through this I’d very very much appreciate it!! This is hurting my sex life with my partner and our want to use toys and just have fun he is scared to do so because of fear of causing me to get another uti. I need some help or advice on what I can do to not get one. And how to safely use toys in the bedroom if there’s anyone out there like me who has found a way to be able to incorporate toys into their bedroom and not get a uti I’d lovvve some advice on what u did to be able to. And on the other side of this if there is anyone who has suffered with chronic bladder infections is there a medication your dr put you on to help your body fight against uti’s or just the overall health of your bladder. Or just anything your dr did that you believe helped you! Also if you have any tips or tricks you yourself use to help fight against bladder infections say if you know your going to use toys in the bedroom or even just preparing for sex and after sex tricks I would sooo soo appreciate it! Thank you guys for you time! 💜
