What Causes Bladder Infection?

Hi, i am a 15 year old female. I believe i have a bladder infection. I googled 'bladder infection' and all the symptoms match up with how i am feeling. There is burning when i urinate, i always have to go but nothing comes out, and occasionally there is blood when i urinate. All of the websites i have read claim that they develope after having sex. However, i am a virgin. Does this mean that i have a bladder infection if i havent had sex?

hai,
Unhygienic sex will lead to urinary bladder infection. sex is not the only reason for bladder infection. As responding your main query having sex will not protect you from urinary bladder infection.
Possible cause for infection; poor water intake,poor hygiene in maintaining the genitalia and improper method in cleaning the stools (backward to upward).

thank you
hope i answered your query
