Do you understand what honeymoon cystitis is? It’s a bladder inflammation due to prolonged or frequent sexual activity. You haven’t provided any information that would lead me to believe your situation meets this criteria. I’m not saying you definitely don’t have HC. I’m saying that you haven’t said anything that obviously points to HC. You understand the difference?

However, because female anatomy predisposes us to UTIs to begin with, frequent or regular sexual activity can transfer bacteria to the urinary meatus (the external opening to the urethra) and often does just this. Your symptoms suggest a UTI but I have no way to know which part of the urinary tract is involved. You need to see your doctor. You’re in the UK or Ireland, right? See your GP. It’s necessary to have a urinalysis to confirm the presence of infection along with a urine culture to identify the organism causing it. It will likely be bacteria but could possibly be viral. Antibiotics aren’t used to treat viral UTIs like they’re used for bacterial infection.

In the meantime, drink a lot of water, hold off on sex for now (sorry), make sure you always wipe from front to back, avoid bubble baths, in the future try to urinate immediately before and/or after having sex. Consider using a cleansing wipe on and around the anal area before having sex. This will somewhat reduce the number of bacteria on the skin.

I’m also going to advise that you avoid cranberry juice or other very acidic drinks. This juice helps prevent some types of bacteria from attaching to the walls of the bladder but 90% of UTIs in women are cause by E. coli. E. coli is a bacterium found in the intestines and at the perianal area (the skin in and around the anus). E. coli is acidophilic, meaning it thrives in an acidic environment. The type of environment you create when you drink cranberry juice. Juice can prolong or even worsen an E. coli UTI. Avoid it until you’ve had a urine culture and know what organism is causing the problem. If it’s E. coli or another acidophilic bacteria, no cranberry juice! Just lots of water. No Broadside, no Yella Belly, no Dirty Dick’s, no pints, just water.

There is a drug called phenazopyridine. In the US it’s sold as Pyridium, Urogesic, Uristat, Azo-Standard and others. If you’re able to find the generic or an equivalent brand name, buy it. Phenazopyridine is an anesthetic used to temporarily relieve UTI pain. Make sure you don’t buy a product with cranberry extract, use it as directed and make sure you don’t use this product for longer than 2 days. Expect to see orange or reddish-orange yellow urine. This is the excreted medication.

Comment on Symptoms, help from doctors or people who know about this? by Candice™

Hi well sounds like u have Cystitis and whilst Chlamydia has similar symptoms check out this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystitis Chlamydia Facts Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth. Any sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. The greater the number of sex partners, the greater the risk of infection. Because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured and is probably more susceptible to infection, they are at particularly high risk for infection if sexually active. Since chlamydia can be transmitted by oral or anal sex, men who have sex with men are also at risk for chlamydial infection. In women, the bacteria initially infect the cervix and the urethra (urine canal). Women who have symptoms might have an abnormal vaginal discharge or a burning sensation when urinating. When the infection spreads from the cervix to the fallopian tubes (tubes that carry fertilized eggs from the ovaries to the uterus), some women still have no signs or symptoms; others have lower abdominal pain, low back pain, nausea, fever, pain during intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual periods. Chlamydial infection of the cervix can spread to the rectum. Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because about three quarters of infected women and about half of infected men have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure. Men or women who have receptive anal intercourse may acquire chlamydial infection in the rectum, which can cause rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding. Chlamydia can also be found in the throats of women and men having oral sex with an infected partner. If untreated, chlamydial infections can progress to serious reproductive and other health problems with both short-term and long-term consequences. Like the disease itself, the damage that chlamydia causes is often "silent." In women, untreated infection can spread into the uterus or fallopian tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This happens in up to 40 percent of women with untreated chlamydia. PID can cause permanent damage to the fallopian tubes, uterus, and surrounding tissues. The damage can lead to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus). Women infected with chlamydia are up to five times more likely to become infected with HIV, if exposed Chlamydia can be easily treated and cured with antibiotics. A single dose of azithromycin or a week of doxycycline (twice daily) are the most commonly used treatments. HIV-positive persons with chlamydia should receive the same treatment as those who are HIV negative. Hope this answers your question Cheers ♥ http://www.cdc.gov/std/Chlamydia/STDFact-Chlamydia.htm
