I am slightly allergic to cats, but no real reaction. September 21, 2009 | medhelp.org. All of the cold symptoms went away, but the mucus in the back of my throat is still there! ...I'm currently taking a nasal steroid and Singulair, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
The bacteria can travel up through the urethra, into the bladder, and in a worst-case scenario, up to the kidneys. Honeymoon cystitis is a term that refers to getting a urinary tract infection after having sex with a new partner.
During a recent study involving 240 women between the age of 18 to 49, it was apparent that sex does cause a kidney infection in some women with a high risk medical history. It appears sex can cause a kidney infection in women who take part in frequent episodes of sexual intercourse, more than three times per week. Frequent sexual intercourse appears to cause a kidney infection 5 times more likely than in women who do not have frequent intercourse. A history of urinary tract infections can raise a woman's risk for a kidney infection by four times compared to those who haven't had a urinary tract infection.
