It's a urinary tract infection. In some cases, you'll develop it if you take a lot of bubble baths. (But only in some). If you go to the hospital or the doctor, they can give you antibiotics for it right away. If you wait, it can move to your kidney and it'll be a lot worse. The sooner you go to the docter's the better. Hope this helps!

Strictly speaking, no it isn't a bladder infection. I had exactly the same problem for around the first two years of my boyfriend and I sleeping with each other.
What you have is what is commonly known as 'Honeymoon Cystitis'. There are two different kinds of cystitis, one being the kind you have and the other being the bladder infection.
Honeymoon Cystitis is so called because when a woman has sex for the first time, the friction can irriate the bladder and cause bruising. As the bladder is irritated, it makes you need to wee more and it burns because of the burns (and possibly the odd cut) that you received from your 'first time'. Strictly speaking, it isn't an infection but antibiotics are still the best way to treat it. I never totally understood why this is the case, but after suffering with it constantly for the first three months of sleeping with my partner, antibiotics were found to be the best way to cure it.
In most cases, this will occur when you have sex for possibly around the first 10 times. After that, it should go away. However, in rare cases, it might continue for quite some time (as it did with me) and in this case, it can be quite tricky to work out what will make it better. Having been back to the doctor so many times, he finally said another female patient had suffered the same throughout her whole married life but they had stumbled across a way to keep it from happening. Although the antibiotics work as a cure, it also works as a preventative method. I started taking one tablet every time we had sex and I never had the same problem as long as I did that. After around 6 months to a year of doing this, I no longer have to.
I doubt that you will have the problem for the same length of time as I did, but I would recommend you see your doctor, to confirm that it is only Honeymoon Cystitis (yes you do need to tell him you had sex for the first time) and get the antibiotics. Generally, drinking more fluids is recommended for cystitis but it really is for the infection, as it helps to clear out the bacteria. I actually found drinking a lot made it worse but it will be down to you to work out what is best until you have seen your doctor. I would recommend cranberry juice. It tastes disgusting but it helps to neutralise the acid in urine which causes the burning sensation.

I'm pretty sure that what you have. I've gotten one before. The doctor will give you antibotics and you'll be fine almost right away! But don't wait to go to the doctor because it can get worse (i would know).

Let me combine all these answers into one coherent answer for you.
When you have sex, you should always attempt to pee afterward. You can get UTI or Bladder infections from sex. It stirs up germs and baccteria and such. If it gets into the urinary tract (which is sterile) it can cause all sorts of hurt. I have had two int he past year. One severe bladder infection and one minor UTI because I didn't pee after sex.
You can get them other ways, but sex is one of them. So don't listen to those who have said they are unrelated.
Drink cranberry juice and lots of water. Yes, it will make you have to pee, but it helps calm the pain some. There are over the counter meds you can buy, at Walgreens or Wal-whatever there is a product called uristat and AZO. Those both can help. Get to a doctor in the meantime, and get on some anti-biotics. That is really the only thing that will make it go away completely.
And try to remember to pee afterward. I always do reguardless and I haven't had one since.

That's a urinary tract infection. It's where, well, you didn't wipe thoroughly when using the bathroom. It has no relationship to sex. See your doctor, and he/she will prescribe some medications. Then, go to the pharmacy and get it. That should get rid of it.

If it is a UTI (urinary tract infection), you will need to see a doctor for medicine.
They do have a couple of over the counter medications for it but they don't tend to work very well. If you want to try one of them, ask your local pharmacy to recommend one for you.
Going to the doctor might be a better bet if you have insurance because if you are a teen the medications aren't real cheap.
Lots of things cause a UTI's. Your mother won't assume (or shouldn't) it was because you had sex. So if that's a worry...don't. :)
