Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  Urinary tract infections are caused by germs, usually bacteria that enter the urethra and then the bladder. This can lead to infection, most commonly in the bladder itself, which can spread to the kidneys. Here's a list of some of the symptoms for UTI. Cloudy or bloody urine, which may have a foul or strong odor, Low fever (not everyone will have a fever),Pain or burning with urination, Pressure or cramping in the lower abdomen (usually middle) or back, Strong need to urinate often, even right after the bladder has been emptied.

Not always does UTI cause pain during intercourse. But Vaginal infection (vaginitis) sure can. Is an inflammation of the vagina that creates discharge, odor, irritation, or itching.
