Having UTI Or Bladder Infection After Holding Urine For A Period Of Time. How To Cure?

Hello, I think I may have a possible UTI or Bladder infection. However ive had symptoms three different times in the past that went away and came back. It seems that it only develops after smoking pot. This time it was triggered (i believe) from having to urinate but holding it in for a period of time (although i've done that in the past) im really worried. im a 17 yr old girl

Hi. Recurrent UTI needs to be investigated well by tests of blood and urine ( routine, microscopy and culture sensitivity)and Ultrasonography. Holding urine alone or smoking pot may not be responsible for the UTI. The tests will guide your treating Doctor for an antibiotic and further treatment.
