Busting the myths about STIs.
We’ve got all the information you need about STI’s, getting checked and what to do if you have an STI.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) or Cystitis
What is a urinary tract infection?
A urinary tract infection (UTI for short) is an infection caused by your own body’s bacteria. It is also known as cystitis.
How do you get it?
Most UTIs are caused by bacteria entering your urethra (wee tube) and bladder. Females are much more likely to get a UTI than males because they have a shorter urethra and it is more open to bacteria.
Wiping from front to back after you go to the toilet will help prevent UTIs. Passing urine (going wees) after you have had sex, or sex play will help to flush out bacteria from your urethra.
What are the symptoms?
- A burning feeling when going wees
- Needing to go wees more often or more urgently
- Cloudy or blood stained wees
- Pain in the lower tummy
How do you treat it?
UTIs are treated with antibiotics. Your doctor or nurse may also suggest you take painkillers such as paracetamol to ease the pain or to lower your temperature if you have a fever.
