Again :(

So the last bout of cystitis eventually cleared up. I've been seeing a reflexologist who suggested citricidal. But I hadn't started taking that until today. Had sex on Sunday morning, gave me a really sore burning vagina yesterday, and now today woke up with the dreaded cystitis again. Rubbish. Currently drinking water and shitting copiously. Found this article from Stanford University, which suggests that bacterial UTI's are to do with bacteria entering the body from the vagina. After antibiotics, more aggressive bacteria can colonise your down-there, which can the get swept into the bladder during sex. Apparently, some of us unlucky folks have 'stickier' vaginas and urethras, so bacteria can get more of a foothold. Neither me nor the boy washed before sex. What idiots. Might try acupuncture again. Realise am lucky to have sufficient cash to try out these things.
