Post-sex UTIs : Ask the physician

Post-sex UTIs : Ask the physician

Author: Leah Carey February 11, 2021 Duration: 25:18

Dr. Evelin Dacker returns to answer a listener's question about common and chronic UTI's that occur after sex. She breaks down the how and why, and addresses prevention and treatment. She explains how naturopaths can restore balance to your vaginal ecology without creating a medical wasteland, and recommends some home remedies so that you too can help your vagina help itself.

 

  • Listener question: Do I really have to take antibiotics the rest of my life to avoid post-sex UTIs?
  • Dr. Dacker breaks down the anatomy behind UTI's.
  • Lube can have a non-sexual protective application.
  • D-Mannose is a carbohydrate sugar that lines the urethra and actually prevents the bacteria from migrating. OTC pro-biotics can help too.
  • Vaginitises can occur with any vaginal intercourse.
  • Yeast infections are discussed.
  • Why the usual antibiotic-after-sex treatment is *not* the best.
  • Dr. Dacker explains why naturopaths are a great place to start when treating chronic infections.

Leah Carey's Good Girls Talk About Sex is built on a simple, powerful premise: honest, unfiltered conversation. As a Sex and Intimacy Coach, Leah guides discussions that feel less like interviews and more like the kind of intimate, revealing talk you'd share with a close friend. Each episode features women from an incredibly wide spectrum of life-differing in size, shape, age, orientation, and cultural or religious background. The stories include those from people raised as girls and transgender women, exploring a full range of relationship structures and levels of kink. What you'll hear are personal narratives about sexuality that are often left unspoken, shared without judgment. This podcast moves beyond theory into the lived, human experience, creating a rare space where complexity is welcomed and authenticity is the only rule. Tuning in means listening to voices that are frequently marginalized, finding common ground in unexpected places, and perhaps understanding your own story a little better through the generous sharing of others.
