UTI Questions

Asked for male, 22 years old from Udaipur

My gf is having uneasiness at the vaginal area since we had dry humping session. She used to have burning sensation very highly before. There is no burning sensation but there is uneasiness. Will dry humping be a cause for uti? What are the causes for uti?

Yes, you can get a uti from having sex, especially if you're a woman. “during sexual intercourse, thrusting or dry humping can introduce bacteria up the urethra and into the bladder, increasing the risk of a uti,”

Health Query

I am uti since I was a kid of 6/7 years. So I always maintained my consumption of water and used to go to washroom regularly. So I was ok. From last january 2022 it started severely. I went so many medications. As per my doctor the urine holding capacity of my bladder had been decreased. Now I am taking 01 capsule of urimax (tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.4 mg) every night and doctor has fixed my water consumption (1.5-2 ltr daily). Now my urine color became yellowish and after every urination. Is it normal?

No it is not normal.

And the treatment given is not curative. Gradually it will increase the issues.

I suggest taking proper homoeopathic treatment.

Course of antibiotics can be given for 14 days based upon culture senstivity report but in case if symptoms persist may have to switch over to higher class of antibiotics.

Asked for female, 24 years old from Delhi

Last month I have an uti and I have used the medication but still i'm getting pain while i'm urinating and urge to pee I have consulted a doctor he suggested me to use soliten 5 mg and lanol 650 mg for pain for 5 days. I'm using them but sometimes i'm still having some mid pain while urinating especially in the morning? After that i'm not having pain is that a serious problem?

Dr. Meena Choudhary90%(71 ratings)

Yes it is of concern. Get urine routine microscopy with culture & senstivity done. Based upon reports start antibiotics. Take plenty of oral fluids, cranberry juice. Medications can't be prescribed to open questions if require so inbox in private consult. Thanks.

Asked for male, 30 years old from Bangalore

Last december, I was diagnosed with uti having severe e.coli infection in my bladder. On mar, I was diagnosed with chronic prostatitis via mri scan. I want to seek advise on my health issue in this forum. 1) it's been 8 months since I got the very 1st instance of uti, I got it again last month, 2 days after a sexual encounter where I had protected sex but unprotected oral sex. I am afraid whether it is going to be a case of recurring uti. Will I have recurring uti? 2) will I have a healthy sex life with my could-be partner? Will I be giving infection to my partner? What will be my partner's risks in terms of her health? My doctor told me to always use condom while having sex. But in a marriage, one can't always be using protection while sex. 3) will I have healthy kids? Will there be any child birth complications? 4) how long will it take for prostatitis to get cured? Any suggestions on lifestyle changes etc? Thank you.

Asked for male, 30 years old from Bangalore

Chronic prostatitis - seeking advise tldr: i'm diagnosed with chronic prostatitis. It seems to be chronic bacterial prostatitis. Seeking advise on sexual health, managing symptoms, recovery etc. If you don't wish to read my long post please go to "my concerns" section at the the bottom of this post to read my query. Thanks you. I'm a 30 year old single male. Last december, I was diagnosed with uti having severe e.coli infection in my bladder. It all started with a chill & fever for a couple of days. Then suddenly one day I had excruciating pain in my groin area, along with severe pain while urination. I was under 2 weeks of antibodies (niftas). Post treatment the pain had entirely gone however I was left with some discomfort while urination. After a month, discomfort/pain started to get a little intense. I consulted the urologist again, urin culture came normal. Doctor suggested cystoscopy or mri scan to rule out prostatitis. Did mri, result said chronic prostatitis. Impression section on the report said "diffusely t2wi hypointense peripheral zone with no diffusion restriction and homogeneous contract enhancement - pirads 2 - could represent chronic prostatitis. No focal lesions or collections" I was under a month of antibiotics treatment (namely of 200, doxyildr, metrogyl 180, trydic plus, veltam .4). Things felt better. My symptoms got mild. However last month, I had unprotected oral sex and sex with condom. 2 days later I felt major discomfort in my groin area (burning sensation). Urin culture showed bacteria presence (culture yielded significant growth of e.coli >1,00,000 cfu/ml). Again I had to undergo antibiotics medication (niftas) along with cranpac-d. Presently my symptoms are mild. I don't get any pain while urination or otherwise. When I need to urinate, I feel a kind of sensation which I don't know how to describe. While urinating I feel as if something is stuck inside my penis. I feel similar sensations during ejaculation. My concerns - my parents are not aware about my above health issues (chronic prostatitis) and they have started looking for my marriage. There are few things bothering me and I seek for advise in this forum. 1) it's been 8 months since I got the very 1st instance of uti, I got it again last month. I am afraid whether it is going to be a case of recurring uti. The second time clearly seems to be the result of the sexual encounter I had. Does prostatitis cause recurring uti? 2) will I have a healthy sex life with my would-be partner? Will I be giving infection to my partner? What will be my partner's risks in terms of her health? My doctor told me to always use condom while having sex. But in a marriage, one can't always be using protection while sex. 3) will I have healthy kids? Will there be any child birth complications? 4) how long will it take for prostatitis to get cured? Any suggestions on lifestyle changes etc? Thank you again.
