It depends on what kind of infection you are talking about, a chest, ear, GI, Urinary Tract, or a respiratory tract infection is quite possible in women, and marital status is not a criteria.

Can you catch a uti from someone else?

UTIs are not contagious. They are typically caused by bacteria that normally live in the digestive tract without causing symptoms, but make their way to the urinary tract and cause disease. While sexually transmissible infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, and herpes can cause symptoms similar to those of bladder infections, these are not normally referred to as UTIs. However, if your question is "can a woman give a man a germ that causes burning when he urinates," the answer is yes.

Can a girl still be pregnant after urinating after intercourse?

It is very good practice for the woman to urinate after the intercourse. Bacteria commonly get introduced in the female urethra. At times she gets urinary tract infection as a result of sexual intercourse. The passage of urine will physically wash the bacteria. It helps to prevent the urinary tract infection. It is better to wait for some time, only if you desire to get pregnant on the day of ovulation. I advice the female to lie down for say half an hour, in that case, before she goes to urination.

Can you use ranitidine for bladder infection or urinary tract infections for a 10 year old girl?

Urinary tract infections require immediate medical attention and can only be treated with antibiotics. There are some medicines that can help with the pain, but they do not treat the infection. Pain meds include phenazopyridine (AZO, Uristat, Pyridium), which is the most effective; urinary alkalizers like Ural; and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or aspirin. Topical hydrocortisone (0.5%-1%) can be put around the urethral opening to stop inflammation. Ranitidine is prescribed by some urologists to treat interstitial cystitis, a condition where the bladder and urethra experience inflammation with no known cause. The ranitidine can prevent inflammation, and as sometimes the inflammation causes UTIs, it can help prevent UTIs in some people. In other words, it is used for PREVENTION of UTIs, not TREATMENT. Children may be advised not to take ranitidine, and you should talk to a medical professional first.


What does it mean if it hurts after urination?

If it is a burning sensation, it is most likely a urinary tract infection, also called a bladder infection. This is common for women, and might occur after sexual activity among other reasons. A doctor will prescribe antibiotics to treat it. For men, urinary tract infections are sometimes a sign of an underlying issue. If the pain is gone after urination (and doesn't come back), the infection has probably healed, however if it remains, it is recommended that the guy should see a doctor.
