Hello

Thank you for your question

Bladder problems are more prevalent postmenopausally.

Can I ask if your infections have been confirmed by laboratory analysis?

Reply to Alexander Irvine's Post: Yes, I have seen 2 Urologists and I internist
and my GYN doctor. I always have a bladder infection when I go and they clear it up with
antibiotics and we've tried my taking an antibiotic for 2 days after having sex. But even
when the infection clears up, it still hurts/burns
in my vagina to have sex.....and then I get another bladder infection.
