can u get a bladder infection from having sex,if so what causes it?

Answer 1

you can certainly get a Urinary Tract Infection from having sex, bacteria from outside your body gets in. Also, holding in your pee after sex increases the chances of a UTI

Answer 2

Yes you can get a bladder infection from having frequent sex. It's the bacteria in that area and the friction between the two that spreads it around. All three holes are so close together that it spreads from the back to the front quite easily. And if he isn't as clean as he could be then it increases the chances.

Answer 3

You should always urinate before and after sex to help prevent bladder infections. Transfer of E.coli from periurethral region can occur during sex. The bacteria can then travel up the urethra and into the bladder where it really likes to live!

Answer 4

UTI's after sex are very common. They're typically referred to as "honeymooner's disease."

They happen because frankly, the female body is NOT the most intelligently designed creation! The urethra is pathetically short (about 1") and there's all sorts of bacteria being pushed into and around the urethral opening during sex.

The best way to avoid this problem is to drink plenty of fluids prior to sex and urinate as soon as possible after you're done. Also, washing the area thoroughly with warm water and antibacterial soap will help to cut down on problems. If they continue you may need to make a visit to your doctor.

Answer 5

Most bladder infections in women are so-called ascending infections, which means that they are caused by microbes traveling upward through the urethra to the bladder. The relative shortness of the female urethra (1.2-2 in [3-5 cm] in length) makes it easy for bacteria to gain entry to the bladder and multiply. The most common bacteria associated with UTIs in women include Escherichia coli (about 80% of cases), Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Proteus species. Risk factors for UTIs in women include:

-Sexual intercourse. The risk of infection increases if the woman has multiple partners.
-Use of a diaphragm for contraception.
-An abnormally short urethra.
-Diabetes or chronic dehydration.
-The absence of a specific enzyme (fucosyltransferase) in vaginal secretions. The lack of this enzyme makes it easier for the vagina to harbor bacteria that cause UTIs.
-Inadequate personal hygiene. Bacteria from fecal matter or vaginal discharge can enter the female urethra because its opening is very close to the vagina and anus.
-History of previous UTIs. About 80% of women with bladder infection develop recurrences within two years.

The early symptoms of bladder infection in women are dysuria (pain on urination), urgency (sudden strong desire to urinate), and increased frequency of urination. About 50% of female patients experience fever, pain in the lower back or flanks, nausea and vomiting, or shaking chills. These symptoms indicate pyelonephritis, or spread of the infection to the upper urinary tract.

Answer 6

Yes, very easily. The man may have a sexually transmitted disease and not even know of it. In all the exchange of fluids in unprotected sex, it is very easily for bacteria to work it's way in the urethra and into the bladder. The best way to avoid it is to have the male partner use protection. I also like your second answer. Best of luck to you.
