A member asked:
How do you prevent yourself from getting utis (usually after sex).?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cranberry: Studies suggest that taking cranberry tablets or juice can reduce the risk of utis. Drinking lots of fluid and emptying your bladder before and after intercourse may help, too. If you have 3 utis within a year, your doctor may recommend using a very low dose of an antibiotic when you have sex.
