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.

u may have gotten the bladder infection from having intercourse or may be even from the soap you use. call your doctor primary care physician immediately and set up an appointment to see him, as this infection could cause complications with your pregnancy. in the meantime drink cranberry juice(the red not the white) and plenty of water.

A lotion is just what bacteria like. Any soap is antimicrobial. Clean dry skin is anti microbial.

Your gyno is right. Your body has a natural system for cleaning down there - thats partly what your discharge is for. If you use anything down there thats scented or will unbalance the pH then you will be more at risk for infections like thrush and UTI's.

i have a lot of ideas. Sweet almond oil works, and try to take a bath put instant oatmeal in it while bathing. yea i kno it sounds weird. or if u have at least half a box of baking soda add it to a bath.

Everything is in the soap you are using.  Don't go to the drugstore.  Find an artisanal soap store near you.  You will never regret wht you will buy....\n\nGood luck

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

Not dangerous but a little irritating!! I like several castle soap enemas and then a nice sea salt enema follow up. Plain water is absorbed way too much a teaspoon or two of sea salt makes it much better. Ivory soap is also very good. Just be sure never to use anything detergent or antibacterial!!!!

Not just any antibacterial soap but Melaleuca anti-bacterial soap. It is used by the mayo clinic becaues it kill bacteria on the hands for up to 5 hours after use.

Well obviously the best advice is to see a doctor ASAP, but also try changing your soap (think...hmmm...have you changed soaps recently?)  I have had a reaction to soap before (It was Irish Spring) I smelled horrible and I switched back the next day and it never happened again, and I have never used "Irish Spring" again!

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.

Women get UTIs much more frequently than men because our urinary orifice is so much closer to our bladder. Infective agents have an extra few inches to travel to reach a male bladder due to anatomical differences. If you have frequent UTI's there are a few things you can that reduce that frequency.\n\nYou and your male partner should both wash well before sex, preferably a shower. Use hot water and soap on the entire 'boxer area' -- buttocks, belly, and upper thighs -- and not just the crotch.\n\nYou and your partner give your hands a good scrubbing before sex, including under your fingernails. Dry your hands on a freshly laundered towel or a paper towel.\n\nAfter sex, urinate as "hard" as you can to "wash out" any microbes that have gotten into your urinary orifice. Then wash your boxer area again with soap and hot water.\n\nDrink cranberry juice or take cranberry extract capsules every day. The superficially expensive health food store quarts of pure cranberry really give more bang for the buck. Four ounces mixed with a quart of apple juice, orange juice, lemonade, etc will give you 9 servings of 4 ounces each, with almost 0.5 ounces of pure cranberry per serving. (You can also add some prune juice to your daily cocktail, but that is for a different problems.)\n\nDrink plenty of pure water, at least 1/2 a gallon a day. Coffee, soda, etc don't count toward this goal. Distilled water will do you the most good, but some people find the "flat" taste objectionable. Don't put lemon to cover the taste; then it's not water anymore, it's lemonade.\n\nKeep your immune system strong with regular hours, plenty of rest, and 5 daily servings of fresh fruits and vegetables. This is easier than it sounds, as a large apple or a large cucumber would be two servings, a 'meal size' salad would be 3 servings or maybe 4.

Any good soap works just fine

My mother, who has neuropathy in her legs (nerve damage) swears this did help her. Her doctor laughed, but even he admitted that several patients had told him it had helped! I guess you're supposed to use Ivory soap (why, I have no idea). My mother put several unwrapped bars in between the sheets, near her legs--there's probably a more strategic way to do this, but I have no idea. I would give it a try. What's the worst that can happen? Your mother ends up with soap on her legs.
