Honeymoon Cystitis Some conditions, including UTIs, can “ruin” a sweet honeymoon because sex can push germs into a woman’s urethra. Of course, this doesn’t just happen on the honeymoon; some women get bladder infections almost every time they have sex, so it’s important to explore whether there’s an anatomical component. Women who have a uterine cap (a contraceptive device that hides the cervix) for contraceptive purposes are also more likely to have a UTI. “Invisible” UTIs Occasionally, a UTI is present without typical symptoms, or even no symptoms at all, and a urine test clearly shows that the bacteria are over the limit. This condition is called asymptomatic bacteriuria and in many cases does not require treatment. However, pregnant women, some small children, kidney transplant patients, and other immunocompromised or compromised patients should be treated to avoid kidney involvement.
