Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I used to get them after having sex until my doc told me to take one Cipro tablet and drink 12 ounces of fluid right afterward. Now, I never have them. Vicki **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Are the constant UTIs thing common for SMA ladies? I'm testing positive for UTIs to the point I'm on antibiotics in around two week rotations. {take ten days of antibioitic, finish it, have UTI symptoms in about two weeks, then test for another UTIand get treated again...} My bladder has a 'pocket' so it never completely empties. I found this out when I couldn't get it empty during a nuclear scan to check a hip hairline fracture for infection {totally painless test btw} I take cranbery pills, try to pee more often but really have no choice somedays but to limit fluids or hold on til I got a place to lie down.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I get them all the time. I was told by my primary that because I sit all the time - I am more prone to them because the bacteria just sits in one place for extended periods of time. When in an able body person they are moving and the bacteria is usually moved around pretty frequently. Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 It used to be a horrible problem for me, almost exactly as you described. Thankfully, they never came back after my pregnancies which is odd! The only thing that was different was ALL I drank was water (and one latte) a day.
