A few months ago I started having sex with my boyfriend. I shower before and after sex, pee right away after, and he always wears a condom. But Ive now had 2 uti’s as well as a yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis. Ive taken other measures to reduce irritation as well- wearing 100% cotton underwear and using sensitive/unscented body wash. The constant infections are driving me crazy especially when I feel like Im taking proper care. This is my first time being with a man- is my body just not used to this? Is there more I can do to prevent further infections? Any advice is appreciated
You're gonna want to talk to your gynecologist about doing a vaginal culture to see what kind of bacteria (both good and bad) and yeasts are in your vaginal flora.
A good probiotic that has strains like L. crispatus should definitely help, and D-mannose can help prevent UTIs.
