It hurts when we have sex. What can I do?
Some women with bladder problems may have pain during intercourse. If this happens, contact your doctor or nurse for advice.
I can’t get wet
It is common to have difficulties with getting wet. Try some water-based lubricant. If you have sore skin, you should see your doctor about it.
I often suffer from urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Be careful to clean your genital area before and after sex.
- Drink lots of water afterwards and empty your bladder when you feel the urge to.
- This will flush out bacteria. If this does not prevent UTIs talk to your doctor.
I am pregnant. Can IC harm my baby?
Intermittent catheterisation will not harm the baby at any stage of your pregnancy.
