I do eat yogurt daily, but I will check out a probiotic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2288214 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 22:08:08 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2288214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: yeah I hate it.. And because of the other issues I have to take an antibiotic to counter the effects of the macrobid. The last UTI I had wasn't even after sex (like more than two weeks, it's been a rough pregnancy!) and luckily it was suscepible to macrobid but in the lab it was resistant to a lot of other stuff probably due to that second antibiotic. It's so frustrating. :( The urologist I talked to was saying it's because the urethra/that area can be colonized, so it's hard to stop getting them.. I'm going to get a second opinion after delivery and postpartum. The last UTI I had all I can think of was that it was hot and I may have been a little dehydrated for a couple days. This whole situation is incredibly frustrating. I'm sorry you're going through it! Definitely see a good urologist!</p> <p>Eta, and I'm already on two probiotics and eat yogurt daily.. Not specifically women's health but yeah. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2288106 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 19:47:10 +0000 whitatl 2288106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>try a womens health (or vaginal health) probiotic. it worked well for me when i had similar issues </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2288103 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 19:46:28 +0000 whitatl 2288103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>try a womens or vaginal health probiotic (i got one from whole foods). i was having a similar issue and the probiotics (and time) helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2287399 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 11:12:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 2287399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: this is kind of what I'm hoping, just a way to get rid of whatever lingering bacteria is going on. I really don't want to have to think about taking something every time we have sex, and honestly these don't always seem to be a result of having sex and I'm super careful about trying to prevent them when we do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2287391 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 11:07:27 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2287391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and I've been told they can sort of flush things out but not while I'm pregnant.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2287386 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 11:06:31 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2287386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but it didn't start til lo was 18m. Not quite as bad as yours, I've had 4 in 1.5 years. I have macrobid I'm supposed to take if I have sex. But I have to be very careful because the antibiotics led to other recurrent problems. I haven't tried yet but both d mannose and Cystex liquid are supposed to be good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2287362 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 10:52:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 2287362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I went to the doctor (again) yesterday and he gave me a stronger one than I've had for the other 3, this is the first time I'm not breastfeeding so he could give me a strong one, before they had to account for breastfeeding. He suggested I got see a urologist because he said this is not normal and he wants to make sure something else isn't causing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2287291 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 10:03:37 +0000 Mamaof2 2287291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh! UTI's suck! Are you sure you are fully getting rid of them? Maybe you need a stronger antibiotic? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-symptom-reoccuring-uti#post-2286335 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 09:45:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 2286335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since I've had my second I seem to be getting reoccurring UTIs. I just wake up one day with serious pain/urgency to urinate and I know its happened again. I was never one to get them very often, maybe 2-3 in my life, and in the last 5 months I've had 4. One was so bad it turned into a kidney infection (it was my fault I let it go too long hoping it would clear up on it's own.) Anyone else have this? I feel like I'm following all the "prevention" rules but maybe I'm missing something? </p>
