    Don't need advice, I do everything ur supposed to do, I just want to complain that my coochie is on fucking fire. The one time I fall asleep without getting up to pee after sex and I get a raging uti. How does it happen so easily? I know there's something bad wrong, I was supposed to go to a urologist years ago but I just can't. Its a sign of bladder cancer and I just know that's what it is. I've been getting them for 15 years. Sometimes if they're not too bad I can flush them out without going to the doctor but this is not one of those times. They usually don't even hurt anymore b/c of all the scar tissue, I can just tell I have one by how my pee looks so this must be a bad one. Fuck it hurts

    Azo is awesome for stopping the pain of a uti . It stops it instantly but turns your pee colors.

    I take the cranberry pills all the time to try and keep it from happening, I always pee before and after sex, I do everything they tell u and still get one at least every couple months. I don't think I've had cancer for 15 years I just think the constant infection has turned into cancer. The doctor even said it was a possibility and I have to go to the specialist but I will never have an extra few hundred laying around. Bf still doesn't understand what it is, he thinks its from being dirty or some shit no matter how many times I try to explain it. The azo doesn't cure it just kills the pain for a little while. Oh well fuck another er bill won't matter I guess

    I used to get those all the time as a kid. You know what the problem was? Only that area of the body was sensitive to the laundry soap we used, so it caused infections. So you may want to try switching laundry soaps, making sure you don't use bleach of fabric softener on your underwear either. Might be something to try while waiting to see the specialist.

    Also, 100% cotton panties, especially in the summer time...they breathe, and you want air circulating your privates.  You probably need to be on a long course of antibiotics to clear up the infection.  Many women need continual low dose antibiotics for chronic bladder infections.

    Go in to the urologist, get the cystoscopy, the doc can bathe the inside of your bladder with antibiotics, a lot can be done, but not if you're afraid to go to the doctor.

    Oh I'm not afraid I would love to get this taken care of for good, I've been living with it for so long. There's just no way I can afford it and I would have to have money up front, they won't just bill me

    That sucks! I'm sorry. I have only had one and it was painful! I was casually dating a guy (not sleeping together) and I had to break it off because he thought I really loved cranberry juice. He bought it for me all the time. 2 months after the infection was gone I was still drinking that shit... I don't particularly like it so I had to cut him loose. lol. I was only 18 it never pooped in to my head to just let him know any part of the truth.
