If you&39;re still getting recurrent UTIs after sex, it&39;s a good idea to consult a medical professional (such as your primary care physician, OB/GYN, or a urologist). After doing necessary assessments, doctors can prescribe personalized treatment options.
“It&39;s possible that someone is getting recurrent UTIs due to an anatomical issue,” Trubow says. “If you&39;ve had more than 35 UTIs in a year, it warrants a full workup."
According to SimmaChiang, you may need to take prescribed antibiotics, a postcoital prophylaxis, or a supplement like cranberry or dmannose to properly treat the infection. “Dmannose can also be used ongoingly and won&39;t alter the microbiome, so it&39;s a great alternative to antibiotics,” Trubow adds.
