Pee Before AND After intercourse! Drink Lots of water & cranberry juice does help!
Your doctor can perscribe Macrobid to take after intercourse - it is a super strong antibiotic, so pick & choose your battles - you can not take it every time (or you will develop a tolorance to it). - when you have an extremely active or prolonged session, take 2 and that will kill anything that is lurking.
Super important, when you get a UTI, go to the doctor and get an antibiotic and FINISH the prescription! If you don't it will reoccur more often.
There are temporary pain relievers you can by over the counter - the pharmacy can help you.
Take it from one who knows - I get about 6 a year! I finally learned about Macrobid - thankfully!
