It is one thing when it happens every once in a while; it's another when it becomes an ongoing, chronic condition. A UTI can affect anyone and involve either the lower urinary tract comprised of the bladder and urethra , the upper urinary tract the kidneys and ureters , or both. Women are more prone to getting UTIs than men—up to 30 times more likely, in fact—with lower tract infections accounting for the majority of sexual difficulties.
Factors that place a person at risk of developing a chronic UTI include:. A UTI can often be recognized by symptoms involving the lower urinary tract, including:. A UTI can also cause painful intercourse, also known as dyspareunia. This is more likely to occur in women who experience chronic UTIs, especially those who are postmenopausal. Bacteria such as E. It can then travel up the urethra and into the bladder where infection can develop. If the kidneys are involved, it becomes a serious condition called pyelonephritis , which requires immediate attention.
Honeymoon cystitis is a term used to describe a UTI that a person gets after having sex with a new partner. It is most common in sexually active younger women. It is believed that women get UTIs more frequently because their urethra is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to enter into the bladder. A chronic UTI is different from an acute UTI in that it either doesn't respond to traditional treatment or recurs frequently.
To better reduce your risk of getting a UTI , there are several things you can do:. Speak with your healthcare provider if you use a diaphragm or spermicide for contraception and are getting frequent bouts of UTI. A diaphragm can make it harder to empty your bladder completely leaving bacteria behind to cause an infection. Spermicide can alter the natural bacterial makeup of the vagina, allowing foreign bacteria to flourish more readily. Alternate methods for contraception may need to be considered.
This is always the case, whether it causes issues or not. It is possible for one partner to carry bacteria that does not cause them symptoms, but does cause symptoms for the other partner. In these cases, it can be a good idea for both partners to be tested, not just for STIs, but for possible UTI-causing bacteria.
There are other precautions that can be taken around sex. I am getting utis frequently and are mostly associated with sex. Going off birthcontrol helped but the string of reaccurant utis is coming back. Any suggests are appreciated.

In the past year, I have become less sexually active as I was before because of the fear of the pain that comes with it.
I cannot remember the last time I did not get one after sex, even though I take as much preventative care as possible — I wash before and after sex, pee immediately after sex, drink lots of water, etc. However, I have reasons to doubt that they are the real cause.

I really love this partner and I dont want to be afraid to have sex with them. I know you can relate but I dont think I can handle another UTI, they haunt you in everything you do.
I curse at my body for being this way when I do everything I can to ensure I dont get one. Do you have any advice as a chronic sufferer yourself?
