Symptoms and Causes
Urinary tract infections can occur as a result of bacterial infections. These infection-causing bacteria are already present in the small and large intestines but don’t cause any issues. However, if the bacteria goes into the urine-carrying tube (urethra), it can cause a problem as it causes a bladder infection. Here are some of the symptoms you might experience while having a UTI:
- Frequent urination
- Blood in urine
- Cramps in the lower abdomen
- Burning while peeing
- Continuous need to pee
Bacteria causing bladder infection is usually Escherichia coli. The causes of transmitting bacteria into the bladder are:
- Wiping back to front after intercourse
- Using contraceptive
- Inserting tampon
- During pregnancy
- Post-menopause low estrogen level
- Prostate infection
FAQs About Bladder Infection

Are there over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for UTIs?
Over-the-counter medications can only relieve pain, like acetaminophen and ibuprofen. These medications can only help ease the symptoms and not treat the infection. You can take the liquid form of these medicines to relieve the symptoms and reduce pain.

How long to wait for sex after bladder infection treatment?
It is better to wait until the infection is completely gone to avoid worsening the symptoms and the chances of spreading. After two weeks of clearing symptoms and completing the antibiotic course, you can return to normal activities. Sometimes you may get other infections from your partner, even if he is healthy. It happens because your immunity is low during disease, and there are more chances of opportunistic pathogen infections. So don’t take risks while being infected.
If I have sex when I have a bladder infection, does my partner need treatment too?
As long as you don’t have a sexually transmitted infection, you don’t need treatment. However, still, it is best to avoid sex during infection as it can give a chance for opportunistic bacteria to grow and cause further infection along with pain and irritation.

How long will a bladder infection last without treatment?
