I think have a bladder infection but read that people starting to be sexually active get them which is me Should worried?

Bladder infections (also known as urinary tract infections or UTIs) can occur in people of any age or gender, but they are more common in women and in those who are sexually active. While it is true that people who are starting to be sexually active are more likely to develop a bladder infection, this does not mean that everyone who has one is automatically at risk. There are a number of other factors that can contribute to the development of a bladder infection, including:

* Having a weakened immune system

* Using a diaphragm or spermicide for birth control

* Having a urinary tract abnormality

* Being pregnant

* Being menopausal

If you are experiencing any symptoms of a bladder infection, such as:

* Frequent urination

* Pain or burning when urinating

* Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

* Pelvic pain

* Back pain

* Fever

* Chills

It is important to see a doctor right away. Antibiotics are typically used to treat bladder infections, and early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent the infection from spreading to the kidneys.

If you are concerned about your risk of developing a bladder infection, talk to your doctor. They can help you determine your individual risk and recommend ways to reduce it.
