UTI: Have you had a positive urine culture,colony count and sensitivity to document the presence of a urinary tract infection and use of an effective antibiotic as shown by the testing? If no definite UTI, your symptoms could be due to urethritis caused by intercourse with inadequate lubrication. In addition to foreplay, use of KY jelly lubrication,& or intercourse on your side or you on top would help
