So ive been getting these utis for a while been to the doctors and have been on meds, it still comes back again, i seem to be able to manage it byself.
-drinking water
-no sex
-no coffee/juices with high acid in
-no alchole
But now me and my husband are trying for a baby the pain is always there after we have sex, like a bad reaction to his sperm.
Could this effect our chances are having a baby?
Could there be a infection present that i need to get sorted?
Everytime i went to the doctors in the uk they tested my pee and did blood work, everything came back clear. I dont understand, this pain is very uncomfortable.
Many thanks
Sarah

Women that have history of UTI's always have greater chances to develop another episodes of UTI later in their lives.
Symptoms of UTI are painful, urgent and frequent urination.
Pain during sex can be a symptom of UTI, too.
UTI that is caused by a sexually transmitted bacteria like Chlamydia and Mycoplasma, can affect the urethra and the genital organs.
Chlamydia, often, first infects the cervix and the urethra (urine canal), leading to an abnormal vaginal discharge or a burning sensation when urinating.
Chlamydia infection than spreads further to the ovarian tubes, causing additional symptoms like lower abdominal pain, low back pain, nausea, fever, pain during intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual periods.
Untreated and long-lasting Chlamydia infection may cause structural changes of genital organs in women leading to fertility problems.
It is very important to get adequate treatment for UTI and STD before conceiving, since these infections can be harmful for your baby.


Ask for STD testing!
