Anyone else start getting uti’s recurrent after starting birth control? I can’t seem to get rid of this bacteria and it’s been since may. I’m starting to think it’s the bc’s fault because I never had these issues before. Any advice please comment

Have you become more sexually active and/or engaged in more sexual activity without the use of protection since starting birth control? If so, it’s more likely to be a result of that than the birth control itself

In my best Booger McFarland voice: “you see, I have not started getting recurrent UTIs after starting birth control on account of the fact that I am not a woman and therefore do not need to take birth control”

The meds for it relieve it..they’re expensive but yes the capsules that really treat it..and seek medical treatment if needed..asap.
