What Is The Cause And Treatment For Recurring Cystitis?

I constantly get cystitis I'm only 17 I normally get it after sex because I feel like a pulling sensation of the tender skin of my vagina when having sex. I pee before and after but I always always get it and also when I am pushing bowel movements a creamish vinigar smell discharge comes out I have just finished my 48 hour 6 sachet cranberry cystopurin so I don't know why it's still occurring 2 days later

Hi.

A cream colored vinegar like smell discharge would most likely be a bacterial vaginosis infection. This is caused by gardnerella vaginalis bacteria.

It would need to be diagnosed with a whiff test. This can be done by your doctor. Post confirmation of the cause, the doctor would suggest medications like antibiotics that will help treat the infection.

Along with this, maintaining vaginal hygiene can help as well. Some things to try include -
Drinking lots of water
Wearing loose cotton clothing
Using a mild vaginal wash
Avoiding using scented products or soaps

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
