Dove soap is the most gentle ( even more so than baby wash) according to my children's pediatrician and I know they make one for sensitive skin.  Bad hygiene is a cause of UTIs so I wouldn't suggest not using soap but instead take a shower and wash gently rather than a bath.

I used to have the exact same problem. It is because during sex, bacteria from your anus, around your vulva, and from your boyfriend's parts gets pushed up into your urethra and multiply. You can decrease your chances of getting an infection by peeing after sex (within 5 minutes or so) and making sure you both wash well every day. If you're still having problems after this, you can both wash directly before sex. Good luck I know they are not fun to have!

Honey, go buy "Uristat" by the makers of Monastat.  It will ease your discomfort and make the "burn" feeling go away when you urinate.  In the mean time...make an appointment with your Dr. and go get the medicine to clear up the UTI....all you have to do is pee in a cup.  Most Dr.'s use a color coded strip that they put in the urine sample so, you need to NOT take the uristat about 24 hours before your appointment because the uristat will make your urine this wierd orange color and that will make it hard for the lab to read the color coded strip.  Don't put off the appointment for sure...the UTI  will only get worse.  Good luck.

That has nothing to do with it. You have a Urinary Tract Infection. See your doctor for antibiotics. I also suggest you drink a whole lot of water and or cranberry juice to help flush things out. Avoid caffeine for a day while you do this.

UTI  stands for urinary tract infection and is very common on all ages, here is a site that would explain it better from the causes to symtoms and treatments.\n http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/bladderhealth/a/UTI.htm

i went to a diabetes class a few weeks ago and the wound care specialist that taught our class says the best kind of soaps you can use are the ones like dove and ivory because they have moisterizers in them to keep you skin moisterized and not to use the ones that are deorderant soaps cause they dry ur skin out

If you are prone to yeast infections you could take acidophilus.  It is just a vitamin.  It helps you keep the level of good bacteria up.  Never douche.  I was getting a mild yeast infection about every month....I figured it was partially to do with timing & hormones but also I was over cleaning myself.  I started using baby wash for personal cleansing and if I feel like a yeast infection is coming on I take some acidophilus until I feel better.  Use baby products for your bubbles instead.

generally, you oughtn't put anything into any bodily oraface unless it is specifically designed for that purpose, foods like bananas or carrots are notorious for changing your ph balance and causing yeast infections, and anything with any kind of grooves or porous / uneven surfaces can harbor bacteria that will up your chances of UTI's and infections.  You can head to websites that cater to sex toys and they'll give you tips.

This may be a dumb myth, but I've heard that peeing right after sex reduces the likliness of pregnancy/diseases. So if you are maybe not doing it will help. As for the shower, I think the other answerers have it pinned if there is anything behind it. Have you considered that "take your temp." plan?

It's fine to try these things, they won't do any damage to the urinary tract. It's worth noting that excessive use of a vib-rator can cause the clitoris to become desensitised though, so while they're fun to use now and then, it's best not to rely on them solely. As for the water in the bath or from the shower head......wow........that's all I can say!

It sounds as though you are doing a number of great things to reduce your risk of UTIs. In particular, drinking water over soda is a great choice. How is your sugar consumption more generally? Do you eat a lot of processed foods or food with high fructose corn syrup? Do you eat five servings of fruits and veggies a day?\n\nI wonder if the feminine wash is actually part of the problem. What if you left the area alone and *didn't* do quite so much to try and prevent UTIs? I know UTIs and yeast infections are not the same, but perhaps you could try the things that tend to prevent yeast infections, since they are related to general vaginal health. This would include drinking cranberry juice (the real thing, not the sugary juice cocktail), live-cultures yogurt, and/or taking acidophilus supplements.

Find some body wash that smells really great (but not overpowering) -- something like Te Tao.  Use it before going in to work.  When you're around your co-worker, make a big deal of sniffing your arm (NOT armpit) and saying "Mmmm, I love this stuff."  Offer her a sniff.  Be enthusiastic and tell her how wonderful the stuff is, the perfect shower companion, and how you can get it at Floopnagel's Drug Store for only $4 a bottle.  That way you aren't telling her she needs it, which would be rude, but rather how much you like it, which gets the message across without endangering her feelings.

I'M NOT A DOCTOR BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE AN COMBINATION OF TWO THINGS.IT COULD BE A YEAST INFECTION THAT HAS ALSO CAUSED A URINARY TRACT INFECTION.I DO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE ANTIBIOTICS AND OTHER MEDS CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.LOOK UP THE MEDS YOU ARE ON IN A MED BOOK OR ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS.PLUS YOU MAY NOT ABLE TO TAKE ANTIBIOTICS.I CAN'T TAKE THEM WITHOUT GETTING A YEAST INFECTION.HAVE YOU EVER TAKEN A STEROID BEFORE? THIS COULD BE PROBLEM ALSO.I WOULD GET A SECOND OPPION TO SEE WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS IF YOUR DOCTOR ISN'T ACTING LIKE YOU WANT HIM TO OR ISN'T ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS.

Find a local homemade soap maker and have them make you a bar of oatmeal honey soap.  Oatmeal is soothing yet scrubby for  exfoliation, honey is antiseptic. It works for me.  The commercial stuff either dried me out bad or broke me out worse!

Hey, well a urinary tract infection can be acquired through sexual intercourse. Actually, men can have a uti and never show symptoms and can pass on to his partner...(even though both male and female can contract a uti) what i am saying is that women are more prone to show symptoms such as mild burning when urinating and an uncomfortable feeling as if you have to pee all the time. \n\nIf you think you have a UTI the fastest method of curing it is antibiotics and a lot of cranberry juice. \nAlso, help prevent a UTI its also good to urinate after having sex. \n\nThere are other causes for a  UTI...check out my source of info to find out more.

I have had numerous kidney infections, UTI's.  Does it hurt when you go to the restroom. Do you feel like you have to go all the time and then when you get there it's just a little bit and usually it will cause your urine to be a little darker than normal. You might also have a spasming pain before or after you go to the restroom.   Women are more prone to kidney infections.  Are you running even a low grade fever?  If you are it probably is a kidney infection; go to your doctor you can't clear these up at home and the longer you let it go the more damage it can do.  It might even be a kidney stone.

You're going to mess up the pH of your lower colon and rectum with that soap - it's very alkaline.  That may lead to infections.  You may have a little problem with the "holding power" of your sphincter muscle. Do you engage in rectal sex regularly?  You may be losing your "holding power" if so.  It's probably no big deal but you should ask your doctor. Do you put off going to the bathroom because you get wrapped up in whatever you're doing and don't want to take the time out to go to the bathroom? If you're an "an*l fixate" you may actually enjoy the holding off and the pressure.  Ask your doctor.
