Painful sex

[Ellie123456]

(I'm 17 and on the pill). I started being sexually active a little more than 8 months ago. Obviously the first few times had the regular "first time pain" but for the most part weren't too bad. I then contracted what would be the first of many UTIs. I went to my doctor, and she said to be a little more careful with urinating before and right after sex. I took that to heart and went on my first round of antibiotics, as well as pyridium for the pain and frequency. It seemed to do the trick so I went on with my life. I delt with the pain during sex telling myself that it's just because I just started. My steady boyfriend and I used condoms, so we tried lubricant to try and make it more comfortable. It helped a bit but didn't really make a difference. The next month I contracted my second UTI. I went back to the doctor. Same advice, different antibiotic. Symptoms went away. I have a slight allergy to latex, so we tried without condoms since I was on the pill. Same kind of pain, it started to feel almost like rug burn. After a while I started to notice what felt like a small cut on the very bottom of my vaginal opening. It's stayed there ever since. The next uti I got, I also got a whopping yeast infection with the antibiotic treatment. I took monistat and it went away. Sex continued to be painful and I got my fourth uti. Back to the doctor. Stronger antibiotics, yeast infection pill. Eventually these got rid of my symptoms.

8 months later and I have no relief. Constant dryness during sex, painful pee even though I take every uti precaution, and sparatic yeast infections.  Nothing seems to give me relief during sex. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does all of the antibiotic use cause vaginal dryness? Any feedback helps PLEASE.

I've tried that, even taking a month long break. He's a generally clean person, showers twice a day usually. But I will definitely try this!

I would try to take a break from sex for a lil bit (probably a week) and during that time, load up on water and drink about 1-3 glasses of cranberry juice every day to help your kidneys and UT. And he might need some changes also, try having sex after you guys shower, cause if he's dirty down there, it'll also give you repeated uti's. (Even if he was clean and went to go play ball or something and gets all sweaty and you guys have sex after). But if you have a uti or yeast infection, NEVER have sex until its cleared up, because it can make it worse and make it keep coming back
