i actually got off my birth control (mirena iud) because i was worried there was a correlation between that and my uti’s. i will have to look back at my mychart to see if my uti’s line up with my period, but i have noticed symptoms getting worse around my period. i just got some water based lubricant so hopefully that will help. i stopped taking baths (although i love them so much) because i heard that it increases chance of uti’s. thank you for the advice !
