NO, it is not a contagious infection. You can get an urinary tract infection from having sex, because of the Bactria that can get in your urinary tract and become infected. Before you go to the doctor, unless it is real painful, drink ALOT of cranberry juice and water. Make sure it is pure cranberry juice with no sugar, that will only make it worse. If not he can give you a pill that will clear it up within days. Search on MYMD

They can caused by different things. the most common is just dehydration. It can also happen if you don't urinate within half an hour of having sex, as fluids and bacteria settle in the urinary tract causing infection. They can also be caused by holding in your urine when you're travelling or in bed etc They're not contagious at all, so don't worry about passing it on to anyone. The best thing to do is to drink a lot of water and cranberry juice to stop your urine being less acidic so it won't sting as much when you pee, as well as flush out your system and keeping you hydrated. If it gets worse, then you should see a doctor to get some medication, but that's only if it gets really bad. Hope that helps.

Cystitis (inflammation of urinary bladder), a common condition, is usually caused by a bacterium from the anus entering the urethra and then the bladder. Common organisms that cause UTIs include: Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Less common organisms include Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus spp.
A mnemonic that can be used to remember the bacteria that cause UTIs is SEEK PP (Staph saprophyticus, E. coli, Enterococcus, Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas).
This leads to inflammation and infection in the lower urinary tract. It can pass on to your sexual partner.
Please see the webpages for more details on Urinary tract infections.
