Q: Bladder Infection? This Is Kind of Weird.

Okay so I know all about bladder infections and ive gone into the doctors and have gotten pills for it.(though I dont have the pills anymore and havnt gone in again) and I know a cause for it can be sex. Well I have been noticing lately that im getting a bladder infection a little less then a week before I start my period, and it only lasts about a day, but oh that one day is painful and its annoying by having to pee so often and then barely any comes out, and often I find a slight light color of blood. Does this have to do with maybe ovulating or something and maybe having sex at that time causes this infection? Just seems to be a little weird to be just a coisendence on it happening the same time every month. Any tips would be helpful thanks! :)

Sorry, don't have an answer for you but the same exact thing happens to me too every month. I didn't notice the blood until this last month but I wasn't looking for it. This month it lasted for longer than a day, it happened two days before I started the nuvaring and then once or twice for the next week. I ended up stopping the ring because I was feeling sick and getting migraines one week later. The burning started up again and just finally I feel normal again today, one week after taking out the ring.
I know this didn't answer your question but at least now we both know we're not the only one that experiences this.

Heres some ways that you may be able to help or prevent a bladder infection from happening. Sex doesn't have to cause it heres a pointer for that.

After you have sex make sure you pee because this can give you a urinary tract infection as well.

Cut caffine out of your diet, when I say caffine I mean soda.

Drink plenty of water and try drinking a glass of cranberry juice a day if you dont' like cranberry juice there are over the counter pills that do the same thing as cranberry juice.

Try these things and if your bladder infections continue go back to the doctor.
