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 healthcare professional for advice.
I feel very dry
It is common to feel dry in the tissue of your genitalia. Try some water-based lubricant. If you have sore skin, you should see your healthcare professional.
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 you continue to get UTIs, you should speak to your healthcare professional.
I'm pregnant. Can IC harm my baby?
Intermittent catheterisation will not harm the baby at any stage of your pregnancy.
