UTI Symptoms after bath

[Charlybx]

has anyone else what feels like a UTI after a bath? I had a bath last night and woke up this morning to a burning sensation and irritation when I wee, it’s very hit and miss other days I can have a bath and alls ok it’s very confusing , I have been to my GP previously as I do often get them after sex ( again not all the time, very hit and miss) every time I do a urine dip at the doctors it comes back clear even though I have the symptoms. I’m currently waiting for an ultrasound.

any tips or advise ?

What wash do you use in the bath? Could it irritate?

I use the magnesium salt and radox muscle bubble bath plus other things like soaps to wash. When I think about it it probably is irritating me all them diff soaps, I might switch to sensitive soaps

It used to happen to me with certain bath products. You have to be careful not too much too many products in a bath for this reason.

The bath soaps and bubble bath will be causing your UTI symptoms. I don’t have baths/use soaps in that region for this very reason, as I know it’s one of the causes of my previous UTIs 😞.

Tbh it makes sense! Because when I shower I seem to be fine, but then il get a uti from sex with my partner but not all the time. It’s crazy how it’s hit and miss I think I need to do a diary to pin point what’s causing it

I’m not sure if you have already seen the advice for avoiding UTIs, but this is definitely worth a read.
