Recurring Urinary Tract Infection
Every time I get intimate with my husband I get UTI (I get the burning sensation when I pass urine and the need run to the loo every 3min, No smelly discharge). We both freshen up before and after intercourse, I clear my bladder before and after intercourse, I don't sit on public toilets, I drink a lot of water. I'm out of ideas as to how to avoid it. I have fibroids, I'm wondering if they have anything to do with this recurrent UTI problem I have?

Hi..... Urinary tract infections can be painful, but you can take steps to ease your discomfort until antibiotics treat the infection. Follow these tips:
Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out bacteria.
Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder.Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate.
Use a heating pad. Apply a warm, but not hot, heating pad to your abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.
