Can you get a bladder infection from condoms?

Yes. Do not let any doctor tell you that it is not possible. When I was on a combination pill with both hormones estrogen and progesterone in it, I routinely got a bladder infection every 2 months. It was predictable. After 5 bladder infections, I finally saw another Dr.and he said that, although very rare, some women react to the extra estrogen and it makes the ureter weak and allows bacteria into the bladder. He advised to switch to different birth control method or use the mini pill, which only contains progesterone. I have used both the Depo shot and the mini pill and have never had a bladder infection since. Thank God for that doctors knowledge. Now, when I have delivered my other children and the doctor wants to put me on birth control I tell him/her that it can't have estrogen in it because it causes bladder infections in me. They think I'm nuts, but I know it can happen, and at the same time I educate them a little, too.
