Question 5

what is the probability that i got my uti from having my period?

Accepted Answer

Zero.: Menstruation does not cause uti.  If it did, there would be a known pattern of more women having utis while on their period than when not menstruating, which is not the case.  Also, postmenopausal women tend to have utis more frequently than younger women.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

UTI: Yes, any form of infection or other inflammation has the potential to change the pattern of your menstrual periods.

Question 7

i have had four utis in a period of 2 months what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

UTI: Either the bacteria that is causing the infection is resistant to the antibiotics, or there is a recurrent cause of the infection such as intercourse. If a urinalysis and urine culture have been done and confirmed a bacterial infection then there would be a list of antibiotics that the bacteria is 'sensitive' to, and some that it is 'resistant' to. Make sure you're on the right one.

Accepted Answer

Yes: In general, having a uti, or bladder infection, will not impact your period.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No: But the common cause of UTI is sex. Sex can do those things .....

Question 10

help! i get utis almost biweekly, im on my period now and have one.. :(?

Accepted Answer

Have you consulted: a urologist yet? You definitely would benefit from a comprehensive work up - looking at post-void residuals and seeing if you have retrograde urine flow which would set you up for recurrent UTIs. Are you sure you don't have interstitial cystitis? Have you received results from urine cultures? Are you getting right antibiotics or are bacteria strains drug-resistant? Lots unknowns.
