Hi, Everyone,
I am weighing my treatment options, and I was wondering - if you get instillations, what are the recommendations for after-care?
Do you have to take steps to avoid urinary tract infection?
And - getting more personal here. . . do you have to avoid sexual activity for a while in order to not get a UTI, and if so, how long is "a while" - a day, a couple of days, a week, more?
I would also imagine it depends on how you feel after the instillation and how soon you feel better, if they work for you.
(I mean, I have vulvodynia, and haven't been able to have intercourse for a long time, but when I'm up for it, my partner and I try to enjoy a few sexual activities that don't hurt me. I guess I'm worried about what instillations will do to my sex life.)
Thanks so much for any information/advice.
