How quick does it happen after having sex;
couple of days , 24 hours or hours.
Trying to pin point what happen if you
understand what I am trying to find out.
Also, if your partner has an infection,
would you also get an infection if you
have sex after they know there is an
infection?

Anytime you introduce bateria into your
vagina or surrounding areas, you take the
chance on getting an infection. Hygiene
plays a big part in keeping away harmful
bacteria. Not drinking enough water,
drinking too many sodas, etc. Can also
cause bladder problems, especially if you
are prone to get them, and some people
just get bladder infections more often
than other people. I had a friend who
got them constantly. She was always sick
with them. I didn't get one until I had
my son by c-section and they catherized me
during surgery. I'd never had one in my
life. Now I get them if I don't drink
enough water or drink too many cokes.
Also depends alot on your imune system
(how well you fight off infections).
Believe me, you know when you get one too.
It isn't fun. Talk to your doctor
about it. Taking antioxidant vitamins to
help boost your imune system also might
help alone with drinking lots and lots of
water.

You all seem to know what you are talking
about so I figured I would ask. How do
you know when you have a bladder
infection? I have something wrong right
now, but i'm not sure exactly what it is.
For some reason I am starting to fill
like I have to urinate all hte time, but
when I go to the restroom, I don't have to
go. It also burns a little when I do use
the restroom. Any suggestions????
please help me try to figure this out!

Sounds like a urinary track infection
(uti). The only thing that will take
that away is antibiotics, because it
originates with bacteria. Drink gallons
of water and a ton of cranberry juice, and
see your doc for some meds.

Yes, sex can cause bladder infections.
If you are really prone to them (as I am)
no matter how much you "clean" yourself
after sex it doesn't matter. Some women
are "closer together" down there and
bacteria gets so easily pushed into the
wrong places.
You do need to drink lots of water.
Drink cranberry juice or orange juice, but
not too much. Too much cranberry or
orange juice can actually make the
infection worse. Stay away from
caffeine. Don't take bubble baths, or
baths for that matter, and don't wear
underwear with dyed cotton right at the
crotch. Those are some tips I have
picked up over the years.
To the above post, during different times
a woman's cycle their system can get off
balance. So, if you get a uti or uti
like symptoms at a specific time each
month but then it goes away, I would not
worry about it. At that time of your
cycle your body's balance may just be off.

My friend got a blatter infection from
having sex. Her doctor told her after her
bladder infection got cleared up, she had
to get meds it was pretty bad, to drink
lots of water and to go to pee after sex.
It worked for her she hasn't had a
infection since.

Yes, I forgot about that. Peeing right
after sex does help some people. I
always have to pee right after sex anyway,
but it doesn't help me. Sighs.

I Dont Know Whats Wrong With Me! Posted: 10-18-04 18:33pm
Ok me and my boyfriend just started havin
sex and its always protected. But for
some reason, I dont know what its called
though but the tounge is sticking out and
its huge and swelled. Only older people
are supposed to have that I thought, but
im 18. It started after we started having
sex. I get these pains before I go pee
and they hurt even more worse after. It
hurts so bad!! The pains dont go away
until an hour later about. Then really
thick white stuff comes out. Does any
body know whats wrong with me?

hi! Um, just wanted to let you know that
my "tongue" has gotten bigger since I
started having sex...And it is always
swollen after sex too.
different issue: for the first time, my
bf came inside of me earlier this week,
and now I have a urinary trach
infection...So it is very feasable for you
to have a bladder infection bc of
sex....This is my 2nd uti, and both since
I started having sex four months ago......

What you are referring to as the tounge is
really your clitoris. Sexual activity
does make it larger, during sex it will
swell.
Vaginal sex as well as oral sex can cause
bladder infections. Make sure that you
urinate after sex and drink lots of water,
if you have an ongoing problem with
burning while urinating, then you should
see a doctor.
explain if this is possible.
