I am 22 years old and need some advice. I have lots of pain with sexual intercourse which really affects my wanting to have sex and i am a newlywed. I also get recurrent UTI's probably approximately 6-8 in a year with blood in my urine the past 2-3 I have had. I also was on the depot shot for two years and have been off it for 1 year and have not had my period yet? My question is do you think I should see a urologist or just forget about it and take an antibiotic every day? I am so miserable with both of these problems I need help. I really don't like the idea of taking an antibiotic everyday if I don't have to because that seems it will be very expensive but considering my age do you think a urologist would be stupid and there is probably nothing wrong with me? I have had a laproscopy done and it showed no endometriosis or any other abnormalities? Please help!!

 Hi kibocjj,
It's good to know that your laparoscopy came back normal. However, from the sounds of your symptoms you certainly would want to be checked by a nephrologist or urologist to have a kindey function workup etc. done. It would not be advisable for anyone to be on constant antibiotic therapy. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
