Sex can DEFINATELY cause a UTI(urinary tract infection). Im no doctor, but that sounds like exactly what you have. I have had several. My doc says to drink cranberry juice....works wonders I swear!!! Drink lots of cranberry juice and lots of water. If you notice problems after a day or two...or if there is any blood in your urine or if you can't urinate AT ALL....see your doctor ASAP, could be signs of a kidney stone or a more serious condition. Hope this helps. Also...to prevent another UTI from sex...always go straight to the bathroom and pee right after having sex. Sounds like a mood killer, I know, but it saves ya a lot of painful problems!!!!

I hate to say it, but DawnMarie's answer was correct. Anything that enter the V. will introduce bacteria that will grow and spread. The best way is to pee right before and right after sex to flush any bacteria our immediately. Report It

Sex can cause bladder infections. Try drinking cranberry juice and see if that helps. Also, urinate right bafore and right after intercourse to prevent further infection.

Yes, you probably have a urinary tract infection, which usually comes from sex. You got bacteria in your urethra which caused an infection. You need to go to the doctor and get on antibiotics before it spreads to your kidneys and becomes a serious problem. I get these all the time, especially when I'm on top. Good luck to you!

i get cronic bladder infections, mainly from sex or soap. After you have sex you should pee right away! or try peeing before too if you know its going to happen. If you do get one first off try cranberry juice, AZO and OTC that will help with the pain and frequency, and then get to a doctor, sometimes anti-biotics will only get rid of it, ask for cipro, works within the first day...have the doctor go over preventions with you.

Yes sex can cause it, bacteria can get into your urethra if you dont clean properly afterwards. Thats why they always tell you to pee after sex, it cleanses the urethra out. You should go to your docs and get on an antibiotic for it. If u cant go to docs, drink lots of water and cranberry juice, that should help a bit.

you can get a bladder infection from sex, you can actually push fluids into your urethra. You should always pee after sex to avoid this. Also if you think you have a bladder infection you need to go to the Doctor because it can go into your kidneys

yes it can be from your husband it is yeast infection take optiflora that will heal it but your husband has to take it for a while

yes sex can cause it. Your supposed to pee after you have sex to prevent getttin a urinary infection.
