Female Sexual Dysfunction

[concernedbeau]

My Girlfriend and I have been fairly sexually active for about a year now. Randomly about 6 months ago she got a UTI which turned into a kidney infection. She was fine for awhile but she started to get random utis. Eventually it got to the point that even if we had the most safe and tame sex she would get an UTI EVERY time. I dont use spermicidal lubricated condoms or anything. We did introduce astroglide into our sex lives ROUGHLY around the time when all this started. Is it possible that the lube is causing this? I am concerned about her because she can barely have fun anymore. Her vagina as a whole gets pretty sore even with mild sexual activity like foreplay only (the outside and all for a few days after). How is this possible? The frequency and type of sex haven't changed AT ALL (except for the lube but I don't think thats it)
Ps. There is no chance of STDS on either end so that is not the problem.

1. if she has not seen a doctor she needs to do this - may be an infection that keeps coming back and she may need to be on a full round on antibiotics to totally knock it out of her system

2. if not a medical issue - she needs to start taking cranberry supplements everyday ( you want a brand that is STANDARDIZED)

3. DRINK LOTS OF WATER

4 Do not let your pets sleep on the bed - recent info indicates this can lead to chronic UTI's

Good luck - I know it can be miserable
