Recurring bladder Infections: What can I do?

To all interested: I admit, bladder infections are awful! Several questions to ask yourself: a) do you get enough water during the day, b) do you complete the antibiotic cycle. The infection isn’t really gone until all the medication is gone, c) are you very careful when you clean yourself, both when you shower and when you use the toilet, d) do you use laundry detergent with fragrance. The fragrance can irritate, thus setting up a good spot for bacteria, e) has your partner been checked for infection. they can easily carry infection but not be symptomatic. They can pass the infection multiple times, f) are you careful to drink water before and after sex, to make sure you rinse your system. It’s also good to urinate after sex. Lots to think about!
Will you let me know if any of this is helpful?
