I keep going to the bathroom frequently. I may have a bladder infection. Why do women have bladder infections?

Sorry, but none of that is really correct.  The temperature of what you drink has nothing to do with how often you have to go.  Your bladder is made of transitional epithelial cells - big words yes - but it really means that the bladder can expand as it fills.  On average a bladder can hold between 400-700 mL of flud - remember this is AVERAGE and there can be variations.  You may just have a smaller bladder.  On the other hand - women get bladder infections (cystitis as it is medically known) because we have a shorter urethra - tube from outside opening into the bladder.  There for it is easier for bacteria to get inside our bodies.  Improper wiping after using the bathroom (women should always wipe front to back) can move e.coli up to the opening to your bladder.  Hope this helps

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.

a unirary tract infection? that's caused by bacteria going up the opening (the one that you pee out) and into the bladder- they make a cozy little home for themself there. Leaks can be a result of the infection- after the infection is gone (you'll be on antibiotics for awhile) see if the leaking no longer happens. If it is still a problem then you should see the Dr. about it

I would be sure to be seen by a doctor... \n\nBacteria can get in there and you can have a bladder infection or UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) that causes odor.  \n\nIt never hurts to be checked out when you are concerned and I have learned that people REALLY know when to be seen.. so trust your gut!  \n\nIf you cannot afford it - go to your local health department or even Planned Parenthood, it is their job to figure out what it is, even if it is a UTI and not an STD or birth control related thing.  \n\nAs a side note, infections smell - and that is a really good sign that you have one, and they smell very foul.  Good Luck!

I'm only addressing the first question: you may have a bladder infection.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) just means you have an infection somewhere in the system, from the kidneys, to the bladder,to the urethra leading out.  You could have gotten it from wiping the wrong direction, back to front instead of front to back.   You may have no drunk enough water and held yourself long enough for the bacteria normally present in your urine to take hold.  The bacteria may have come from his hands or even yours- hard to tell.   It just means you have an infection, and loads of people get them every day, with or without the sex/hand job.  Just drink lots of fluids, water and cranberry juice blends are the best, and take your antibiotics as directed.  It will go away in a few days, and it's not a big deal.  Keep yourself clean, watch how you wipe, drink plenty of fluids and go when you need to go,and you will do just fine.

Bladder and UTI's can pretty much be the same thing and the best way to avoid these is to drink plenty of water. Sodas and other sugary drinks can aggravate these areas. \nAlso if you are sexually active make sure to urinate both before and after sex to rid the area near the urethra of any bacteria. During sexual intercourse, the penis can introduce bacteria into the vulva and the act of intercourse can push this into the urethral opening and/or help introduce bacteria that are already present in the vulva into the urinary tract, possibly causing a urinary tract infection or bladder infection. Urinating both before and after intercourse can help prevent this.\n\nYour kidneys also need a plenty of water, so not too many sodas and sugary drinks!\n\nYeast Infections can be caused by a number of things including antibiotics. But one huge thing is wearing cotton panties. Let your goods breathe and don’t coupe them up in silky underwear and tight pants/jeans too often. The female body produces natural bacteria, but hot, damp places can breed the not so natural kind!\n\nFor all of the above, avoid too many bubble baths (or anything in the bath for that matter). Don’t let the manufactures fool you into buying all of the feminine hygiene products either. The fact is that soap and water are all you need to keep yourself clean, and these sprays, wiping cloths, deodorants, douches can throw off your pH balance and cause many of these problems/infections. Always remember to wipe from front to back!!!

I have had numerous kidney infections, UTI's.  Does it hurt when you go to the restroom. Do you feel like you have to go all the time and then when you get there it's just a little bit and usually it will cause your urine to be a little darker than normal. You might also have a spasming pain before or after you go to the restroom.   Women are more prone to kidney infections.  Are you running even a low grade fever?  If you are it probably is a kidney infection; go to your doctor you can't clear these up at home and the longer you let it go the more damage it can do.  It might even be a kidney stone.

If you had a bladder infection it would not be comfortable to urinate.  If you feel it is internal and not your spine, it could be kidney infection.  I would defiantly see a doctor.\n\nUmm...not defiantly...Definitely

Could be; (1) a urinary tract infection; (2) anxiety; and (3) enlarged prostate.\n\nRelax when you urinate.  Give yourself time to get out as much urine as possible.\n\nA quick way to alleviate an infection down there:  Drink cranberry juice -- the good kind made out of 100% juice.  There is an acid in there that makes your urine even more acid and bacteria holding onto the walls of the urethra let loose when they encounter increased acidity.  Also drink plenty of water.\n\nIf the problem persists much longer, I suggest you visit your family physician and perhaps a urologist.\n\nGood luck.  Rest assured, you are not the first or last guy to experience this problem.  You'll find a solution.

Does it burn when you pee?  Do you pee very small amounts?  Does it feel like you have to, but when you do go you hardly pee at all?\n\nThat sounds like a urinary tract infection.  It happens if you're new at intercourse, haven't had intercourse in a while, or have used a product in your genital area that doesn't agree with you, like a bubble bath or soap product.\n\nIf this is the case, you'll need to get medical attention - go to the doctor and get checked out.  Most likely you'll get a cycle of antibiotics.

You probably have an overactive bladder,see your doctor to find out.

You may have interstitial cystitis. This involves chronic inflammation of the bladder in addition to a decreased capacity that leads to urinary frequency.  Other causes could be urinary tract infection, enlarged prostate, prostatitis, and diabetes.  It would be best to go to your doctor to get checked out.
