Same! I’ve had 5/6 in the last year and a half. Done everything they’ve told me to help prevent. Water, cranberry juice, use the toilet after s*x, etc. but still keeps coming back.

Before i had endo excision surgery, i would get Utis, bv and yeast infections a lot and it actually ended up being the estrogen i the combination birth control pill i was on that was flaring up the vaginal symptoms since it was throwing my ph out of wack and flaring the endo, when i switched to a progestin only pill these symptoms mostly went away
