    Default UTI and work

    So friday night I got back from work and was peeing blood. Never had that before, but figured what it was. Saw doctor yesterday, sure enough, etc.

    But it was a weekend and the urgent care...doc doesnt tell me anything, except to take the pills. Not a lot of english either (the price of free healthcare! im not complaining though).

    SOOO...google tells me it can be from lots of sex and coffee- both of which Ive had tons of lately. How does work affect this--Im not going in tonite because my bits are still a bit sore. Im wondering if I should avoid the dirty environment for a few more days--

    And also, how would one prevent another one---when can I have sex again, etc...Tried the search function, but everyones questions were different and not quite mine. Thanks for the opinions!!

    Unfortunately I get UTIS once or twice a year....never peed blood though that would freak me out!! I do get the agonizing burning, uncontollable urge to pee, bladder spasms....Yuck!!

    I would take the antibiotics til they are gone before having sex again. UTIS are often caused by bacteria getting up into your hoohaa with the thrusting from sex. There's bacteria everywhere, and if you have a lot of sex you're vag gets irritated and is more suseptible to developing infections. Also, using spermicide increases risk of infection just so you know. Make sure the antibiotic is all the way gone before having sex or using a tampon or putting anything inside your vag. You probably allready know this but also people get infections from going "back and forth" between anal sex and regular sex...so...don't do that one or the other!

    To prevent one, you can take AZO cranberry pills...cranberry cocktail doesn't help that much but real cranberry juice would. Also, try to always pee after you have sex to get the bacteria out. Another no no is holding it if you have to pee.... Always stay hydrated, drink lots of water to flush the bacteria too.

    As far as work goes, are you dancing nude? If you are, I would also reccommend waiting til you are done with the anti biotic. If you can't, I would absolutely make sure to put a blanket on stage for when you lie down, and do not do any pole work naked. Same thing if you give a lap dance, put a towel down. Ultimately if you can take off, do.

    I personally wouldn't stay away from work unless you are uncomfortable. It's not so much the environment as the "thrusting" motion of sex that is shoving bacteria and stuff up your urinary tract. I used to get chronic UTI's about every month or two. I took the following steps and no longer get them:

    -Drinks LOTs of water and try and pee often.
    -If you have to go pee, don't hold it.
    -Pee after sex so if anything was shoved up your urinary tract, it might come out.
    -Change underwear twice a day.
    -Make sure to always wipe front to back (kindergarten, I know)

    I tried the cranberry thing although it didn't really do anything for me.

    Honestly, I think it's the sex. I've heard about the pee afterwards thing, and I've been neglecting to do that. Plus I have this stupid day job that makes me run around, with no time for anything but coffee...no time for water when I'm thirsty, and no time for even a pee break, so yeah I hold it for hours. Fuck that shit, I'm taking my bathroom breaks and drinking a glass of water!! Those bastards can wait. I'll be more vigilant to pee after sex too. Fucking BURNS, this thing.

    I'm probably gonna wait a few days before work anyway, since antibiotics make me stomach-achey (gots to be done though, obviously). I only have to take the pills until Weds or Thursday I think, and I don't have to for sure work until then, what with school and other job. Thanks for the suggestions...I will be careful.

    Mollyzmoon, i would suggest drinking uva ursi tea to prevent from getting uti's, i used to get them 5 to 6 times yr. i was referred to a urologist, put on meds for a month & so on, but still got them but then a friend recommended the uvi ursi tea & i have not gotten one since (knock on wood, i hate those things with a passion) you can find the tea bags at vitamin shoppe. i swear by this stuff girls, i agree with all the other posts but you should also buy the tea bags to help prevent them in the future.

    i used to get UTIs all the time from sex. It got to the point where I peed before sex, washed my junk and his with anti-bacterial stuff, CHUG A BUNCH OF WATER, did the nasty, then peed immediately after and rewashed with anti-bacterial. Then either drank or took a cranberry pill.

    I would wait until there's no more tenderness before doing the nasty again, though. and find positions that don't put pressure on your urethra, such as some formation of doggy or spooning. as for work, i never go in if anything is wrong with my danty parts, because then i can't concentrate on being sexy. Good luck and I hope you feel better!

    I am prone to UTI's. My doctor said some women are more prone than others due to having a shorter urethra. UTI occurs when bacteria attaches to the uretha. Taking cranberry tablets or drinking cranberry juice can help prevent further infections.

    I take 2 cranberry tablets every day to prevent them.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    I had about 4-5 UTI's last year! It was such a pain in the ass! What I have had to do is drink at least a half of bottle of water at least 1/2 hour before I think that I might have sex! This way I know that after we get it in, I'm "definately" gonna pee all the cum out of me! I found that as long as I pee within the 2-4 hours after sex, I don't get a UTI..I realize that you might not always KNOW when you MIGHT have sex but it never hurts to be on the safe side right? And hell, water is good for your anyway so why not for your health? (FYI, I hate drinking water, but hated getting UTI's more! ) And so, I have not had a UTI since March of last year! I hope this helps and that your feeling better soon!

    OMG I have had 4 to 5 utis since March!!!! I have sex almost everyday, sometimes 2 to 3 times and I have to pee all the time so I end up holding it a lot. It's terrible. Then from the antibiotics I would get a yeast infection. Suuch a vicious cycle. I had sex with utis before, I am just too horny to wait more than 2 days so all 5 or antibiotics days were too long. It hurts sometimes to have sex w a uti so I don't really recommend it if you have enough self control. Hope you feel better!

    Dude, bottled water. If you run around with a purse, by a mini nalgene bottle and fill it up when you can. Your health comes first.

    I've only had two UTIs, and they were pretty mild because I caught them early, but MAN did they suck! I feel for you ladies

    I get monthly yeast infections. Actually, I get YIs a week after my period is over. Since I've been skipping two out of three periods (I'm on the ring) I only get YIs four times a year. Great.

    YES.

    A tip, ladies: if you're prone to yeast infections when you take antibiotics, whenever they are prescribed to you ask the doctor to add two prescriptions of diflucan. It is the magical pill that kicks YI's ass.
