Menopause and Urinary Infections
Urinary infections, also known as infections of the urinary tract, are one of the most common bacterial infections in women. The urinary tract is more susceptible to infections during menopause due to reduction in hormonal support. This tract, being a system for the removal of the body's fluid wastes, is more vulnerable to multiplication of bacteria, leading to infection. Though not very serious, the urinary infections are painful. The symptoms disappear quickly after treatment with antibiotics.

Most women would experience infections of the urinary tract, at least once in their lifetimes, though many would have them repeatedly. Menopause and Urinary Infections - Their Causes Factors leading to increased risks of urinary infections in women are pregnancy, urinary infections as a child, diabetes and menopause. The bacteria, around the rectum or the vagina, which enter the urinary tract cause urinary infections in women. The female anatomy is prone to urinary infections as the very act, and sexual intercourse massages the bacteria into the urethra.
A weak bladder could be the cause of urinary infections. The bladder stretches to hold urine and relaxes when it is emptied of urine. When, at times, you wait a long time to empty your bladder, the bladder is overstretched and the bladder muscle becomes weak. In this state, it does not completely empty the bladder and retains some urine, which increases the risk of infection.
When you have urinary infections, you have a strong urge to urinate. The act of urination is followed by sharp pain and a burning sensation in the urethra. Some times, even when the urge is great, very little urine is released. This frequent urge to urinate is one of the symptoms of urinary infections. It is advisable to have proper diagnosis done, since during menopause similar symptoms could cause vaginal or vulva-related infections.

Ways to Prevent Urinary Infections during Menopause The usual treatment is a course of antibiotics. Antibiotics need to be taken as prescribed and continued until the full treatment is complete. There are certain ways that you can prevent urinary infections from occurring:
?? First and foremost is to practice good personal hygiene. ?? After bowel movement and urination, wash the area around the rectum and the vagina thoroughly and ensure it is dried properly. ?? Washing before and after sexual intercourse is a way of preventing urinary infections. Some doctors recommend urinating before and after a sexual intercourse to flush out bacteria. ?? Drink plenty of water to ensure flushing out of bacteria from the urinary tract. Do not accumulate urine in the bladder, and empty it out at the earliest to reduce the risk of infections. ?? Cotton panties, or panties with a cotton crotch, is recommended as cotton allows moisture to evaporate. Moist environment is a breeding ground for bacteria. ?? Sexually active women can change sexual positions to cause less friction on the urethra. Women who tend to have frequent urinary infections are advised to take antibiotics after sexual intercourse.

How long should I wait after a UTI treatment?

to have sex
and
masturbate again?
I don't want to aggravate it. I drank antibiotics, for ten days, and finished yesterday. Should I wait another week?

I recently had a UTI, and i waited until I was off of my antibiotics and felt normal again. I wouldn't say to wait an entire week necessarily, but I would wait at least a couple more days to be safe. Basically, just make sure that you feel okay with it and that you are treated and you should be fine.

I get uti's all the time.... ((im pregnant))
Normally I wait till the meds. are gone and I feel better. THEN. make sure everything that goes into or around your vagina is clean. For example: your boyfriend/husband/lovers penis needs to be clean and probably use a condom so his fluids dont make your vagina grow more bacteria than it already has... or cleaning and and using a condom for your dildo ((if you use one)) if not - make sure you have clean hands.
