Hints below: Medical record, macro: vulvar tender loving care: i reviewed the use of unscented sanitary products. She will use dove or oil of olay soap. She will alternate baths and showers. She will consider blow-drying after bathing. Tight underwear discouraged. Showering after exercise recommended. Drinking 32-40 ounces of water daily encouraged. Some people have found probiotics to be helpful.

Have U tried this?: Urinating after sex? If so discuss taking prophylactic macrodantin, (nitrofurantoin) after sex, with your primary or gyn dr. Also shower rather than bathe & no bubble bath, no thongs & only cotton underwear, spread thighs widely to avoid trapping urine when voiding, control constipation, keep well hydrated and urinate regularly, consider changing iud for bcp.
