If you are sexually active, that could cause your infections. Be sure to void both before and after sex and it really helps if you can shower afterward too. Other things that can cause or create conditions for UTIs are bath oils or salts, lotions or deodorants, dehydration, and incorrect cleansing after defecating.

Vaginal intercourse makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder through the urethra. Some women contract the infection -- dubbed "honeymoon cystitis" -- almost every time they have sex. Women who use a diaphragm as their primary method of birth control are also particularly susceptible to bladder infections, perhaps because the device presses on the bladder and keeps it from emptying completely. Bacteria then rapidly reproduce in the stagnant urine left in the bladder. Pregnant women, whose bladders become compressed as the fetus grows, are also prone to infections. Use of condoms and use of spermicides also increase the risk of urinary tract infections.<br><b>References : </b><br>web MD hope this helps! Women sometimes get bladder infections after sex.
