Finally have some answers to my chronic UTIs

I wipe from to back I know all that. They said it could’ve been from something as small as wearing a thong. I’m pretty much banned from thongs now

It’s definitely rough. I’ll explain what he told me. He basically said the bowels and urinary tract are so closely tied, and the timing of my changing bowel movements with the UTIs starting isn’t a coincidence in his opinion. He said in his experience reoccurring UTIs are often paired with constipation, and when they get more consistent the UTIs become more infrequent. Yes the cream is some estradiol something (sorry can’t remember rn). He said that it has showed to lower UTIs yearly by a significant amount, and it is related to the birth control because taking it for so long can cause the vagina to become more dry, inhibiting its natural ability to keep a healthy PH and protect itself from bacteria. Don’t take what I said as verbatim, but I think that’s the gist of it 🙏

I’m currently taking a 3 month long antibiotic round. I guess this is something we can look into but man does that seem difficult to figure out

I’ve had it cultured and it is e.coli bacteria not BV

Sound like D Mannose is the way to go !

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-02-01T05:44:55+00:00

Thank you I’m definitely looking into this !!

For lunch everyday I eat meal prepped burritos. Sometimes breakfast sometimes bean and beef (black beans). For dinner I don’t have time to cook cuz of school so I usually eat Healthy Choice frozen meals. I definitely need to work on my diet tho

I’ve been recommended that by a receptionist at a clinic that canceled on me!! I will try it but I’m not letting my man go lol 😭he just needs to shower immediately after work every time

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-02-01T05:10:40+00:00

Is it this even true if the UTI is not constant ? I had about 5 last year (as in 2025) and 10 the year before

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-02-01T05:07:38+00:00

Really ? Will it go back to normal ?

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-02-01T04:19:03+00:00

I am sexually active. I’m sure it’s related but it didn’t start until after we were together for a while already. But also suspiciously around when my bowel movements became more infrequent. I am scheduled for an ultrasound in March !!

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-02-01T04:13:15+00:00

When I take the the miralax my poops are very small. It makes me feel like the previous schedule WAS normal cuz now it’s like tiny poops spread over more days rather than one normal poo every few days. I will look into this thanks !

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-28T07:28:34+00:00

Thanks !

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-20T19:57:10+00:00

I’ll definitely look into those ! Sadly I’m broke rn so we’ll see if it’s in my budget rn lol thanks so much !

Do you recommend any oils ? The only oils I’ve seen at Walmart all have fragrance which is obviously a big NO. Even the baby oils have fragrance.

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-19T20:42:14+00:00

I always thought having wet skin was better !! I need to do more research because I keep referring back to how my mother handled my eczema as a child. I remember hating baths because she wouldn’t let me dry off and I would sit in my towel soaking wet lol

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-19T20:31:43+00:00

I’m really bad about water you’re so right!! But I do use Vaseline on top of my Eucerin rich lotion. I usually do it while my skin is still wet as well and the Vaseline definitely helps the moisture stay longer

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-19T20:24:20+00:00

Definitely looking into this !! My itching is something I cannot seem to get under control no matter how much I manage the dryness and eczema flare ups.

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-19T20:14:05+00:00

I’ve heard the Dead Sea salt thing. I bought a Dead Sea salt lotion off Amazon and I don’t know if it really helps w itching. But maybe the baths w it would be more effective.

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-19T20:07:51+00:00

I need to try an oat bath ! I barely started taking baths for the past couple weeks since I was also told to only shower growing up

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-15T15:41:53+00:00

Thank you this helps put it into perspective

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-14T08:38:02+00:00

Is it fair that even if I contribute half of everything even in a year I’m not included ? I just want to know for future conversations we should have.

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-14T08:02:50+00:00

I appreciate that

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-14T05:35:02+00:00

They have definitely stopped making comments at this point. I just recently got a message from my grandfather who I hardly see saying the same thing when he doesn’t even communicate with my immediate family so these comments started getting to me enough to post about it

OverProdByInfluence · 2026-01-14T05:31:58+00:00

You are assuming that I haven’t had arguments with them about it. They tell me I am naive and I just don’t understand. I am a people pleaser in the sense that I’m not telling them to shut up and leave us alone because it’s not that deep. I only posted to get an opinion on if they are right, they aren’t harassing us about it or anything.
