How I prevent UTIs after sex 

I know I've said it before, but from my personal experience, you truly are MORE HELPFUL THAN THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ARE! Thank you so much for the great advice and clear explanation of things. GREAT CHANNEL!!!

Thanks for always addressing the issues that other paraplegics never want to address. This has helped me a lot and I bet a lot like me will appreciate your advice as well. You don't learn these type of things in rehab, and when you ask a fellow paraplegic they usually don't want to answer and just avoid the question.

I have been watching your channel for over a year now and appreciate your frank discussion on topics like this. I was born with a disability and dating, sex and marriage seemed to be taboo subjects. I also went to a Catholic school which further impacted any information I received. I spent my early 20s getting back to back UTIs and it wasn't until I did some research that I was able to figure out some tips for prevention. As someone said upthread, you should look into getting a job at a rehab centre to educate patients and staff on para-issues.

There was a lot there that applies outside your obvious community. A very frank and honest description of mutual needs and responsibilities when you ae part of a partnership. Well done, so many have to learn as they go, with all the pain and suffering that can cause

It’s great how you can help so many other people as you are so comfortable and confident talking about these topics! I suspect Rehab facilities don’t have the guts to discuss this sort of thing, despite the fact that intimacy is an important part of life. Kudos to you Brittney!

Always interesting and inclusive information. You do a great job explaining your routine and the fact you work as a team is so lovely.❤️

thankyou so much for all the info. have had problems of uti since 13 yrs old. am now in my seventies so it is difficult . have uti now, ugh! can not get around very well. enjoy someone who speaks so well and doesn't mind telling it like it is!

Watching this makes it crystal clear that you're an excellent educator. Thanks for sharing your perspective and experience on this topic. Really appreciated.

UTI’s are just awful anytime any help preventing them is a bonus. Excellent information Britt, you help so many people with your openness.

Got to respect the transparency. And keep ém coming! ;) Merry Christmas!

Brittney you and Joe work well as a team. 👏👏👏

Thank you for being so open, and making this kind of video.

Again, a great job Brittney! But girl do you realize how fast you were talking? When the subject matter is a little uncomfortable it causes us to speed thru the conversation. It's all good! Whew! Kudos to you for putting it out there. My husband & I have adopted a similar routine. When we were younger we didn't initiate the process of getting cleaned up as soon afterwards & found out that the cuddling in afterglow is great, wonderful for bonding and all but Lord help you if you fall asleep or simply wait too long to get cleaned up. It's an invitation for a UTI...Now it's just part of the routine we do together & it's just understood it's part of what our intimacy involves as a couple. In fact we oftentimes use the wipes in foreplay depending on what we had been doing before the encounter. Sometimes it's really hot & after sitting, I'd just prefer to freshen up but not take time & risk losing the mood by taking a shower. So we might go through a lot of wipes..but thats ok as long as we keep from getting an infection. I too use goats milk soap, down the extra fluids, D-Mannose, cranberry..all part of the routine..

Great advice, thank you for sharing in a straight forward, and easy to understand way...Happy Holidays and have a great week! 🕊️

Oh this is so useful! Yeah I will be doing this. Thank you! 💕

Great tips, as always! I invested in a portable bidet bottle for this type of use and it's great.

Very nice description. I'll have to start using these techniques. Thank you.

Oh I have had this problem and I don't use a catheter. It is really an awful problem to have. I wash after too and it definitely helps.

Great video! D-mannose worked wonders for me after sex, until 2 years ago, when I developed urinary retention (urine is not peed 100%, and it stays in fhe bladder). Now I have to use self cath, I haven’t started yet, and it’s already freaking me out. I just hope that via self cath I will be able to flush out the bacteria and just live normal life. Now I have UTI every time I have sex and it’s terrible. I have MS btw

I have to recommend a great cleanser for the lady parts that is healthy to your ph balance. It’s called honey pot. I highly recommend.

Thank you!!! we have a similar process as you. I am paraplegic due to spinal cord injury, I/we do pre and post cleaning. I ask my husband to clean himself prior to sex. I have a hand held shower head next to the toilet to clean post sex. Take D-mannose and 2 Cranstat Extra.

Thank you so much for this wonderful information i love you ❤

What's also very helpful to prevent uti is to keep that entire area dry with actually using a hand hair dryer . Its very convenient and eliminates bacteria. There maybe alternative types of dryer, but those cheap hand hair dryers are handy.

Thanks for the video. Are those wipes dry? I live in Alberta where can I buy them?

I didn't knew it was that complex for the girls, what we use to do it's just a regular shower (i use to use condomns) and so far... i or my partheners never had an UTI from sex relaions; but i guess that we, the guys, have a much less complex organ than the girls, i'll keep it in mind anyway, thanks for the info.

Where did you get the crewneck from ? I love it

Do you use a bidet attachment on your toilet? I am not in a wheel chair but it did help stop my frequent utis.

It would be difficult to get in the mood with a woman in a wheelchair because id feel as if im doing something wrong? Also k would not mind a woman in a wheelchair or a blind women or a deaf woman because i like to take care of women. Its a loving thing. I believe Woman should be taken care of by s guy especially s disabled woman

What size are your blue pads? Mine seem so much smaller. 😊

10:05 I take it you mean "a *lot* of water."

Have you tried using a bidet? Either hand held or mounted to toilet.

I need your whole family to make a video saying I'm NOT crazy, or a dork. The paralyzed girl I know thinks I am for asking an Irish Nun out in 7th grade.
