Hi,
Thank you for the additional details.
It is likely that the lubrication was responsible for the introduction of bacteia into the urethra.
You can also start increasing your intake of vitamin C-rich fruits or juices, such as citrus and cranberry juices, as these help eliminate the bacteria from the urinary tract.

Hello,
I omitted an important fact that patients should be aware of. The muse instructional video has no mention of using lubrication when inserting the applicator. The doctor taught me how to use it in the office and did use lubrication with the applicator. So I followed his method. Unforunately, I think this is what might have caused the bacteria. I told the doctor that only the sedative Remeron restored full sexual functioning but it was making me too sleepy. So that's how I got muse.
I was given flomax and another drug in the ER that induces urine, and actually makes the urine come out bright red. I have seen improvement already. I will make sure to keep away from any transurethral devices in the future.
,
I definitely should be drinking more liquids. Thanks.
Hi,
This is the right forum for this query.
Dosage of MUSE depends on your condition and requirement. A low dose of any medication is considered safer during first use as the chances of any reactions and side effects are less and are easier to manage.
The manufacturer recommends that you use only two doses within a 24-hour period.
Using the higher dose should be discussed with your prescribing doctor as there are variations in individual responses to any drug.
The UTI could have been the result of introducing external bacteria into the urethra and not flushing it soon after.
Increase intake of fluids to over 2000 ml per day and pass urine before and after intercourse.
Do keep us posted on your doubts and progress.
