Well after joining the site about middle of December last year we have spoken to some great people, had some fun in the chatroom, done loads of talking between ourselves and welcomed our sex life back with open arms (or is it legs). However I forgot what I get with a great sex life.......CYSTITIS!!!!!!!!!!
I hate it. Anyone know any good cures? and don't say cranberry juice it makes me want to puke!
Love
Mrs Lizard x
thanks, here goes: :upset: drinks disgusting cranberry juice, then pukes.
Told ya
yuk!!
xxxxxxx
I guess asking for a shag is out of the question?
Seriously get well soon and take it slowly.
I have a similiar problem... I've got either a urine infection or a kidney infection and my doctor also told me to drink cranberry juice...which i share the same thoughts on!
And thankyou winchwench...I'll be trying lemon and barley.
Hope you feel better soon firelizard.
Sounds awful
Our dog once had something similar. Was murder driving her the 15 miles or so to the emergency vets!! The journey should have taken 10 mins or so and ended up taking over one hour. Think we stopped every 50 yards to let he wee!! Piir thing really suffered.[/quote)
Firelizard take this on board and don't arrange any meets over 2 miles away OR....
take a large bucket!
I was once very p*ssed at a party and went outside for a pee. I was there for two hours before I realised I was standing next to a leaky downpipe!!
Hope you feel better!
Get well soon Firelizard!
Isn't there a related problem, or perhaps this is it, called "honeymooners Disease?" (not the official name)
I believe its caused by vigarous sex or an increase in sexual activity after a diminished period... An Ex not only ended up with cystitus but also BV (its like thrush on steroids) when we got together after her 2 years of abstinance.
I think its a combination of friction to the ureathra and lining of the vagina and also the bodys natural way of getting rid of stuff its not biologically used to.
Douching is not a good idea as it destroys the good bugs more than the bad ones and also causes drying of the natural lubricants... as is using strong scented or salted baths and soaps.
Natural yogart is supposedly very good as it helps cultivate the bodys natural bugs while remaining neutral towards the bodys defences.
You didnt mention it, but going from anal to vaginal sex can also cause problems as bacteria that causes no problems in the anus can multiply and cause infection when transfered to the vagina.
Urinating after sex is supposed to help prevent cystitus and urinary problems... but i'm not sure how true that is... but I guess logically by passing an acidic wash it would help to clean out any latent sperm that may have entered the urinry tract.
Being run dwn can also increase the chance of problems... oddly enough while sex makes you feel great if you're up till 4 in the morning banging away then up for work at 9 then you're going to be run down...
Mind you, I read a lot of gobldegook so all i'm doing is passing on things I've heard or read and not any serious medical study (far to wordy, lol) so what works for one might not work for another.
I read on the net and got told off a doc to drink water before and after sex, both of ya wash down below before sex, use lube to stop any friction to the urethra and have a wee and wash ya self straight after sex.
Hope this info helps and yes I know what its like and how depressed it can get ya.
