Hi...
I have a constant sensation of wanting to pee but when i go to use the bathroom, little comes out. This happened to me before and it lasted only for 2 days.
This time i saw a bit of blood when i pee but it was only for the few first times, tho it was of a very light pink color. Do i have some bladder infection or kidneys problems or is this from sex?? HELP!!!!!

Cystitis related to having sex
Some women find that they are prone to cystitis within a day or so after having sex. This may be partly due to the movements during sex which may push bacteria up into your bladder. There may also be slight damage to your urethra that encourages bacteria to thrive. This is more likely if your vagina is dry during sex. The normal mucus in and around your vagina may also be upset if you use spermicides or diaphragm contraceptives. The following may reduce the chance of cystitis developing after sex.

* After having sex, go to the toilet to empty your bladder.
* If your vagina is dry, use a lubricating jelly during sex.
* One option is to take a single dose of antibiotic within two hours after having sex.
* Do not use spermicides and/or diaphragm for contraception. See your doctor or practice nurse for advice on other forms of contraception.
