Hi everyone,
My girlfriend has been unfortunate enough to catch a bladder infection most if not every time we have sex. We have both thoroughly read into what causes it but it seems theres many different things that can cause it. She goes to the doctor every time and just keeps getting anti biotics and no clear reasons as to why she has got it. This is all well and good as it makes her better but she cant do this every time. I was wondering if anyone has any actual useful information or treatments (aside from anti biotics) for all this. We vary between using condoms as she is on the implant but this makes no difference as she still incurs it. Is there anything we can do to avoid her from catching another one?
Any information that can be given would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Tom

hi tom
Ive had this too with my self antibiotics will make it worse ,first her doctor have to find out what type of the bacteria is causing this .If itsts gram positive or gram negative like E.coli you shouldnt take antibiotics as e.coli gets more resistant after every cure .
Gram positive like proteuss is easy to treat with antibiotics or cranberry juice you only have to make your urine more acidic but this infection is not so common common are e.coli bugs (gram negative bacteria) and this one is very difficul to get rid off.
A cure that finally worked for me after I tryed a lot of was cinnamon and honey for me and my husband
boiling 2tbs cinnamon as a tea add here 1 tbs real raw honey in a glass(500ml)every morning for my husband for a month and for me the same only 3 times a day seemed to get rid of the infection you should take it to as this bugs live in your saliva and anywere with moisture, so you need both to be treatet
Cinnamon is great natural treatment killing bacteria in the bladder

I hope I helped good luck
