Intimacy and IC

So this is just a reminder--if you are in treatment, making sure that there is no fluid exchange during intimacy is very important. Your partner's fluid's especially male fluids can transfer many organisms which can adversely effect the female partner. This may increase symptoms by a high percentage for a significant period of time. It also causes a lot of confusion, especially if we are not made aware that this is happening. Then we will make choices based on misinformation.

Please be sure you discuss with us your intimacy practices so that we may discuss this without being graphic on this post and your process is not being altered by anything you are doing. This may make a huge difference in your path to wellness.
