A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need suppression: . Every individual has bacteria in the genital area, it basically comes from anus.No amount of washing can completely eliminate it. During intercourse bacteria are milked into the bladder where they are instantly killed by bladder forces of surface immunity. Repeated infection indicate that you have lost it. Septra (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) or Macrodantin one tab daily for three monts( yes 3 months) are given to restore.
