My answer would depend on if you are male or female.  I will assume female since we get them much more frequently than men. UTI is technically caused by a bacteria. However, rough or frequent sex can cause it(it can tear the urinary meatus thus allowing bacteria in), nylon underwear(by not letting enough air circulate), feminine powders and sprays, colored toilet tissue, yeast infections, and wiping the wrong way after urinating.\n\n\nHow to prevent them:  Always wipe front to back, urinate after sex(flushes the bacteria away from the opening), drink lots of water, wear cotton underwear, use white perfume free tissue, do not use feminine sprays or powders.\n\nGood Luck:) \n\nP.S. Cranberry Juice is a good home remedy the acidity inhibits bacteria growth and helps flush out your urinary tract.

It might be a urinary tract infection. A course of antibiotics should clear it up. See your Doctor soon!

I have the same problem. I am going to see a Urologist as this has been going on for years. Your Gyno should be your first stop, and I'm sure you do all the instructions from them-( wiping from front to back, urinating after sex, drinking cranberry juice or pills, drinking lots of water and in my case taking an anti biotic after sex). I would say it is time to see a kidney specialist as UTI's are so miserable, and sounds like you have reached tolerance to many antibiotics.

That has nothing to do with it. You have a Urinary Tract Infection. See your doctor for antibiotics. I also suggest you drink a whole lot of water and or cranberry juice to help flush things out. Avoid caffeine for a day while you do this.

Could be a simple urinary tract infection (most likely), but it could aslo be a more serious infection such as chlamydia.  In either case you would need antibiotcs to clear it, otherwise it can develop into a very dangerous infection as it moves up the urethra, such as a kidney infection, which can ultimately be fatal.  See a doctor right away.

you probably have a UTI. It is not a major malfunction, BUT you need to get some antibiotics so don't be scared to tell someone who can help. Women get them ALL the time. Men get them too. It is a common ailment. You will need to go to the doctor though. I don't think that what you drink has anything to do with it.

UTI or urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria that have gotten into the urinary tract (that includes from the urethra [the opeing where urine comes out of] up to the kidneys). The usual bacterias that are usually involved are Escherichia coli, Proteus sp., Enterobacter sp., Klebsiella sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus epidermidis, and a lot of other bacteria. The urinary tract is normally sterile, so whatever bacteria gets in can cause UTI. by the way, fungi can also cause UTI, the most common being Candida sp.\n\nRisk of getting UTI is increased if the genitalia are not washed regularly, habitually holding the peeing for a long period of time, in females, wiping the genitalia from behind to the front, not changing underwear regularly.
