Recurrent cystitis - advice needed
Posted , 1 user is following.
I started a new relationship in february and in the past have been prone to cystitis. In my new relationship it has really taken its toll on me. I have had cystitis around 9 times since february. I follow all guidance with peeing after sex, and try to keep well hydrated. I have so far had all STIs ruled out and a clear ultrasound. I am waiting on a referral to urology which is taking ages. I came off my pill as it was making me bleed every couple of weeks on a separate note.. and we now use condoms. condoms appear to help my cystitis a lot but my partner struggles on maintaining an erection, so now we have a bit of a challenge in this area. i dint like condoms either but obviously if they help, then it is what it is. What can i expect when i go to urology? Are there any further tips somebody can offer me? it is a horrible thing to have to endure. My friend had a similar scenario and they found e coli in her bladder. Is there a chance that not just myself but could my partner not be clean before we have sex?! the current waiting list was 20 weeks for urology when i called to put my name on the list. I am fed up and just want answers.
