A member asked:

I'm pron to having kidney infections, since my last one i haven't felt completely right. i've been much more tender and my sex drive has went down ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urology referral: Make sure f/u urine analysis with c/s is entirely nl. If more than 3 infections in past year you need to f/u with urology for evaluation to r/o stricture, other causes. In meantime void after sex, cranberry juice daily. Should not impact on sex drive directly.
