She decided to just try to figure out what could be causing the infections instead. So I have to buy dye/perfume free body wash such as dove, for example. I have to make sure I only use a newer k-y jelly and nothing that is getting old. I have to keep track of how I wipe, and I have to keep an eye out on when the UTIs actually start up. This is a process of elimination. Apparently, some women get UTIs directly due to sex. The doctor said she often prescribes a low dose of the antibiotic that's used to treat UTIs but to take in once after sex just to keep the urinary tract in better working order and to stop being so sensitive.
