Hi everyone,

It's been a few months now that I've been experiencing a "UTI sensation" every time after sex (symptoms like wanting to pee very frequently, heaviness at the bottom of the belly, urinary discomfort that I feel goes up to the kidneys). I've done many tests and 9 times out of 10 the tests come back negative with no sign of infection (in the rare cases where the test shows the UTI is actually there, I take antibiotics but the UTI seems to come back soon after, indeed even if the test comes back negative afterwards, the symptoms remain).

This unknown condition is really annoying as it makes the intercourses very uncomfortable (urgent sensation of peeing when nothing comes) especially when I have a few clients a day.

I'm very careful to pee after every sexual intercourse + also careful about making sure there are no anal bacteria coming into my vagina.

I really don't know what's wrong, has anyone ever experienced something similar to this ?

Thank you for your help

Have you sought professional medical help for this?

Also compete long shot do you use toys on yourself?

Anna go back to your GP and ask very firmly to be referred to a specialist at your nearest hospital, if they say no as for an explanation as to why they refuse to refer you when it's been recurring for months even though you are doing all the right things.

If they still refuse ask to see another GP at the practice,  preferably a female

Good luck

Thanks all for your advices, I'll go to see another GP.

Yes maybe a bladder scan would be the best, petlover, keep us updated on what your results are after the scan, I'm sure there is a condition such a sensitive bladder that triggers UTI/cystitis very easily.

And yes I constantly take cystitis sachets (the sodium powder with the cranberry smell) and it helps me relieving the discomfort. So yes what I get is definitely cystitis, but aren't UTI and cystitis the same thing ?

I also do not offer fingering as part of my services specifically to prevent that.

I have suffered with this for years, maybe initially from being in the swinginging scene for years but I put it down to hard/rough sex, rimming, fingering, basically many things expected/offered during escorting.
I was finally diagnosed with having a sensitive bladder and prescribed oxybutynin tabs 2/3 times a day. The crap side effects are that they make you insanely thirsty.
As Amy says, taking a break is great, when i'm not working it's no prob at all. Just had 2 weeks off and felt fine, didn't need the meds but one day back and two bookings where both went in with fingers (despite the fact that I removed it from my enjoys list ages ago!) and being told to be gentle and I'm getting the irritable rumbling warning signs.
I used to get D Mannose from the suppliers website and found it very helpful but it eventually became very expensive, looks like now prices are a bit more competetitive so I'd definitely recommend but also don't allow rough/PSE sex, fingering and rimming or excessive use of toys.

Yes I don't allow any of the services you've mentioned, I'm a very vanilla provider and if someone tries anything such as fingering or rimming, I tell them to stop straight away.
Yes D-Mannose is good but as you said it's indeed fairly expensive (£20 for 14 effervescent tablets) but yes also true that when I don't work and I don't have sex, it's significantly better. I also probably have sensitive bladder, did oxybutynin give you any other side effects that being thirsty ?

I am really prone to UTI's and I've had something very similar to what you are experiencing following a UTI.  It feels like you still have an infection but when tested it is clear.  My theory is after a UTI your urethra is inflamed and sore still and can take time to calm down.  I have previously used amytriptoline (which among other things can treat nerve pain), and if things don't calm down i will take doxycycline which is used to treat urethritis (inflammation of the urethra)......obviously you need to be careful with self medication  and I'm not a Dr, but this works for me

How old are you Ana?
UTI's are more common when you reach the menopause. Also, what presents as a UTI is often just changes in your vulva, making it dry and itchy and yes - feeling the discomfort more when you have a wee.
I speak from experience. It was grim and I really struggled with bookings (even though I'm mardy anyway and don't fare well with prolonged sex and definitely don't allow fingers/toys/Rimming)

For me, HRT was the cure. 100%
Took it vaginally via pessary at first then, for other issues, I now take it in tablet form.
