UTI should I tell my bf?

[Anonymous]

I have Urinary Tract Infection. Saturday I took the morning after pill and I though that the burning was that but it turns out I have UTI... Does my boyfriend need to take antibiotics like I do? If he doesn't should I tell him or will he be weirded out?

Turns out I have cystisis( a form of UTI which was caused by sex :P)

You don't have to tell him unless he wants to engage in sexual activity with you again ... in that case there is nothing wrong or embarrassing in telling him that you have a UTI. It's not an STD, it's not gross or anything ... it happens to every girl at some point or another. If you're both mature enough to have sex, you should be mature enough to be able to admit to when something like a UTI pops up, it's no biggy. Tell him you're on antibiotics for it and it should be cleared up in a few days.

Will having sex hurt ? Or will it not be satisfiing for me?

[hrtsnstrs]

you're definitely gonna be uncomfortable having sex while having a UTI ... it's gonna burn or feel like you have to pee really bad ... so definitely hold off for a few days til you're done with your antibiotics and the symptoms go away.

Thank you very much :)

UTIs are pretty common in women, don't worry about it.

I wouldn't bother telling him unless he wants to have sex and you feel that it'd be too uncomfortable or painful for you.

And no, he doesn't need to take antibiotics unless he's got a UTI himself, which he very probably doesn't.

Great Thank you <3

@Update: Your boyfriend should try washing his penis more often.

[Asker]

Lol :P It wasn't because of his penis. Many girls get that after a few months of losing their V :P

Just refrain from sex and tell him you have a UTI and that it's normal for girls to get them without it meaning that they have an STI. Then tell him that you don't want to risk him getting one too so you two should take it easy on the sex for a few days.

[Asker]

Okay Thank you :) So it's not gross right?

[Distant]

Not gross at all. Just unfortunate :P

[Asker]

:P Thanks a lot. :D

[Distant]

My pleasure!

Ya, it's very common, most guys would understand.

I'd tell him so he doesn't badger you for sex.

[Asker]

He's not that type :P every time we're together alone we do it unless I have my period. And sometimes I tell him that I'd rather not do it today and then we do it anyway and he feels bad :P He's not the one to badger:P

It wouldn't hurt to inform him.

[Asker]

I'm afraid that he'd be disguisted even though he never gave any signs of being grossed out by anything I do.

If he's worth keeping around, he should be able to handle it. If I was with a girl I really cared about I would take care of her in her lowest states of health...
