Would You Tell A Partner You're Treating Cystitis / Uti ?

My business is treating cystitis / UTI symptoms. This article is about a dilemma I have met several times while talking to people who are suffering from a repeated UTI, cystitis or bladder infections, (also frequently called urinary tract infections). I hope that this will help other sufferers to know that they are not on their own, and that others worry too

Is regular sex important in your life and in your relationships? (For most of us it is, even if we have difficulty in admitting it - even to ourselves). The problem is - even if sex is not particularly important to you, and you can honestly say that you would be just as happy if your relationship had no sex at all - would your partner say the same?

Awkward question eh? A true and loving partner will probably put up with a lot -especially if they know that you are unwell and have no control over your condition. But no sex??? For many partners that would be a real test of relationship!

You have caught and need to treat UTI. You also have a devoted long-term partner. What will you do? Do you really know him or her that well? Will they really be sympathetic and supportive? After all, a UTI or bladder infection is not like putting on a few pounds, or being cranky, or having a broken arm. Those conditions might make things tricky in bed (especially that broken arm), but at least your partner can't catch a broken arm or depression from you after a vigorous hour or so -unless they fell out of bed anyway!

But a urinary tract infection - that's different! Despite the fact that a large proportion of the population has had to treat UTI at some time or another; despite the fact that Cystitis pain is rarely life-threatening; despite the fact that it is not defined as a sexually transmitted disease; - for many it is still an embarrassing illness. You don't talk about bladder infections in mixed company.

And if you do decide to talk about it? Well, you'll certainly separate your best friends from the rest. They'll all feel sorry for you and console you, but only your really true friends will always be there to support you when you need them. And your sexual partner? Well that's a whole different ball-game. Because unlike a bad temper, UTI's and Cystitis CAN be transferred to a someone else during sex.

So do you tell them? A partner who really loves you will probably understand - at first anyway - and be willing (for their sake as well as yours), to abstain from relations until treatment can be effective. The trouble is, treating cystitis with antibiotics isn't always immediate, or effective, or lasting, especially using doctor-prescribed antibiotics.

Antibiotics don't permanently eradicate the UTI bugs in the urinary tract that cause the condition, and now that doctors prescribe much shorter courses of drugs in the interests of preventing them becoming even less effective, infections can and usually do recur, often easily and often.

In a situation like this a dutiful lover could gradually become less understanding, less patient and less loving. It's all about the way our brains are wired - if we usually get sex several times a week, and then it's withdrawn, we get tetchy, irritable and - eventually - irrational. Although we know perfectly well that having a urinary tract infection isn't our partner's fault, we eventually start to blame them and start looking for alternatives.

So one solution for a sufferer of repeated UTI infections is not to tell their partner, but that won't work if you feel so bad because of the infection that you just don't want any sex any way. You can go to a doctor and get another prescription for antibiotics, then take a substantial initial dose in the hope of quickly killing the cystitis infection, (and risk the nasty side-effects that can result from killing off most of your good bacteria too). Or you could look around at traditional natural remedy for cystitis. There is a fantastic natural cure for UTI, one which quickly and effectively treats most bladder infections, cystitis and UTIs.

It is variously called Mannose, D-Mannose or Waterfall D Mannose (Sorry, I don't know why). It's an extremely unusual UTI remedy because it works differently from most other natural remedies. It will pass through your urinary system sucking up all those nasty cystitis-causing bugs clinging to your bladder walls, and hold them in suspension until you next expel them by urination. Easy eh?

In many cases Mannose can start working right away, and in less than an hour that cystitis pain is gone. For most sufferers, regular small daily doses of Mannose will hold Cystitis, Bladder Infections and UTI's at bay indefinitely. Chronic Cystitis sufferers who have suffered many earlier attacks will probably need to take more Mannose, and for longer, but almost all repeat UTI sufferers recover more quickly and more permanently than those relying solely on antibiotics. Mannose is inexpensive, and needs no prescription.

There is a whole boatload of stuff to learn about what causes cystitis and repeated UTI s, and about D-Mannose - a fascinating material - and a genuine natural remedy for Cystitis UTI. There is a comprehensive and growing Mannose Information page on my health blog-site, where the answers to all the questions cystitis-sufferers ask are freely available, not only about how mannose works in the treatment of cystitis, but also a lot about Cystitis, Bladder Infections and UTIs in general.
