Cystitis is a common infection which can be caused by bacteria from the nearby skin that can travel up the urethra and grow in your bladder, causing infection and inflammation. For many, living with cystitis can be uncomfortable, embarrassing and at times, extremely painful.

It is a common condition where the lining of the bladder becomes inflamed and makes going to the loo quite painful. Common symptoms include a stinging or burning feeling when passing urine, an urgent and frequent need to go to the loo, and passing small amounts of urine often.

Cystitis usually occurs as the result of an infection and other possible symptoms include blood in the urine, backache, lower abdominal aches and generally feeling unwell. It can ruin sleep and make working uncomfortable.

Although men can suffer with cystitis, it is adult women who are most commonly affected. For some women, cystitis is a rare event, for others it can happen four or five times a year. It affects women of all ages, being more common during pregnancy, post menopause and in those who are sexually active.

There are a number of ways of relieving the pain of cystitis. Drinking several glasses of water a day can help and cranberry juice can also help relieve symptoms. Although antibiotics have traditionally been prescribed to treat the condition, there are now natural products such as D-Mannose available on the market which may be just as effective with none of the side effects.

Dr Wright and Dr Harper give help and advice on beating the condition.

I had unprotected anal sex with my gf of 2 years and always do but recently I just felt a lil discomfort around the pubic area.. seems like mostly the area about the penis (pelvic?) I started to feel it last friday.. but didnt think much of it. At first I read about UTI’s and some guys can get it but it’s unlikely and I’m not bleeding or having issues peeing..then I thought maybe Kidney Stones but don’t have any of the symptoms involved with that and would think it would be hurting elsewhere? and finally I’m wondering if it’s possible to sprain, pull, or bruise that area?? She did do some riding (which she never does) and I was a little rougher lately.. It bothers me more when I sit down.. It doesn’t hurt its just a dull irritating feeling. I been taking cranberry in case.. anyone else had a similar situation? any thoughts? please be mature . Thanks!

Okay, let’s start here: Anal sex is not so dangerous and dirty as some would have you believe. You’re much more likely to contract a UTI from vaginal sex than from anal sex. However, you immediately connected that behavior with your current problem — that suggests to me that you might be feeling a little bit “dirty” or “guilty” or whatnot about it, as if your current discomfort is a sort of “penance” or whatnot for your “bad behavior.” While that’s probably scientifically silly, keep in mind the psychology of the whole thing– If you are tempted to do something that you know is going to cause you guilt or regret afterward, better not to do it. But that’s really a whole different issue.

Let’s talk about your injury. Because that’s what it is, based on the information you’ve provided. Discomfort (like soreness, tenderness, etc) in your groin could indicate a slight hernia (a little minor tear will heal itself and is no cause for immediate medical panic), but more likely is just a strain, which should be fine in about 10-14 days. Keep in mind that your lower abs, obliques, hips, quads, etc., all have tendons and ligaments converging around that area, and it’s not unlikely that being a little “rough,” as you described, could have pulled something.

You mentioned you talked to people about UTI’s (or perhaps an STD)… keep in mind that with any of those kinds of things, you would feel a burning sensation and/or sharp pain in your Urethra, particularly when you pee. You might also see some discharge from your Urethra (milky white or pale yellow). Doesn’t sound from your post like you have any symptoms of this entire category of things (keep in mind, I’ve been pretty generic here… for specifics obviously you’d want to see a medical professional who could do some tests).

I wouldn’t worry too much– think of it the same way as if you strain a muscle in the gym… you didn’t say how “recently” this happened, but I wouldn’t worry about it unless it gets worse or doesn’t go away in a few weeks. Take it easy, drink lots of water, and maybe take some glutamine. And keep in mind that females do not have prostate glands, which means that the intense pleasure YOU get from anal stimulation doesn’t happen for them. Which means that you should really be appreciating your gf, cuz that’s all about you, not her. And you might wanna hold back no that “aggressive” pounding– chances are, she puts up with it more than she enjoys it, and it caused you to bust a gut.

So, bottom line, treat this the same as you would a mild over-training strain, but just a whole lot more fun in the getting there

Peace!
