How long should i wait before having sex with my husband after a uti and yeast infection?

I had an yeast infection and uti at the time. Want to the Doctor and got medication for both and everything seems find now. And my husband can’t wait anymore.

If you use condoms you do not have to wait at all. The risk lies in passing the infection to your husband who will later reinfect you. Although this is rare (not impossible) with the yeast infection it is quite common with the UTI.
It is actually quite important that he be checked for the infection and treated if necessary before resuming unprotected sex with him. Most of what the other people answering your question is correct in that you need to make sure that the infection is gone before resuming unprotected sex.
Candida albicans, the same type of yeast that causes vaginal yeast infections can cause a condition called jock itch in males and sometimes females. In this way it can be passed back and forth between partners. Jock itch is external and can be eliminated with Selsun, Monistat or Clotrimazole. Candida albicans can also invade the male urinary tract and cause a condition called male yeast infection which causes itching at the tip of the penis.

can you give someone a urinary track infection from oral sex?

if you have oral sex, can you give your partner a urinary track infection?if so what causes it.

That depends on the germs in the person’s mouth. The urinary tract is a warm, dark, moist environment which germs like but it is also highly acidic place (due to the urine) which most germs don’t like. So, yes, you could but it is highly unlikely. Better to play it safe though. The human mouth is a very germy place unless you have just brushed your teeth and gargled with mouth wash. With in seven to ten minutes after brushing your teeth and gargling with mouth wash a humans mouth is just as germy as before.

Can a guy transfer a Urinary Tract Infection to a woman when having sex?

No. However, sex can cause a UTI whether the guy has one or not. Sex pushes bacteria into both people’s urethras. Men clean them out when they orgasm because they ejaculate. Women should pee after sex to clean themselves out.

What foods naturally cure a Urinary Tract Infection?

admin — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:38:15 +0000

I have read that there are foods you can consume to raise your acid level in your urine that would eliminate the infection, does anyone know what they are?

Cranberry juice has a unique property that stops infection from sticking to the walls of your urinary tract but drinking lots and lots of it can have bad effects as well as it is too acidic. Some people on certain medication have to be careful with cranberry juice as well. My granddad was told by a doctor that he could not drink it as he was on warfarin. If you’ve been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection then your doc should prescribe you antibiotics. Drinking a barley water drink such as robinsons fruit and barley can also help with the sting when passing water, and making sure you drink plenty of water will help flush it out.

What causes the pain in the bladder and in the uterus during a uti?

admin — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:38:13 +0000

my bladder and uterus are aching really bad, i cant sleep. what would help with the sleeping during a uti?> i have been awake for days and am totally exhausted from fighting this. am on antibiotics.

The bacteria causes the tissues to become inflammed. There is a lot of "stuff" in your pelvic region, and when one thing gets irritable it tends to share the irritation with everyone. Kind of like having one grump in the crowd being a downer for everyone else. Sometimes you can calm them down by massaging the lower belly, or lying on your side with your knees curled up and hugging a firm pillow. Sometimes a heating pad will help, front or back as you find most comfy. You can also help shift the infection along faster if you will drink until your molars threaten to float out of your mouth. The more diluted you keep the urine, the less irritating it is to the bladder. Then it doesn’t spasm and set everything else off. Your antibiotics should start making a noticeable difference in 3-4 days. Depending on what you are taking, it may also be smart to lay off all the dairy products. Antibiotics kill a lot of the good bacteria in your gut, making it impossible to digest dairy products of any kind. That can give you diarrhea and gas, and that will really irritate everyone in the region. If you have been eating much dairy, that may also be some of the problem now. The end of the small intestine is right below your belly button, and then the large intestine starts. Gas in the system will make you feel crampy as well. In that case, the masssage will move things along to the exit as well, and also help. Sorry dear, it’s just a miserable situation.

how do you get rid of a urinary track infection? do i have to go to the doctors? i don’t have health insurance right now..

Drink cranberry juice and take AZO. Also, if you go to GNC, look in the vitamin section and on the label they will say things like "helps build immunity" and "cleanses urinary tract". Look for those vitamins.
