Hi Cassamatazz and welcome to NeuroTalk

He also told me he has had cases where with one partner women have no UTI's and then they end up switching to someone else and they get them all the time. So I asked the obvious question, will this always happen to me with my current boyfriend? I got the dreadful answer, yes.
The Urologists answer really annoys me.

Some women have more UTIs than other women. We tend to be more prone to them than men.

Some basic urinary tract maintenance:

- Be sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. You should drink sodas sparingly.

- Urinate before intimacy.

- Urinate after intimacy.

- Ask your boyfriend/husband to wash his hands before being intimate. After all he will be touching you very intimately and germs from his hand can transfer to you. When asking him to wash his hands explain to him why so maybe in the future this will be automatic for him. (my husband always washes his hands before )

- Try to get out of the habit of "holding it" as many of us women tend to do at times.

Make sure you wipe front to back.

Take care
