A member asked:
Is sexual activity one of the commonly recognized causes of urinary tract infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's common for a woman to get a urinary tract infection shortly after she begins having intercourse. The anatomy and physics send the bacteria up the urethra into the bladder. It's a wonderful time, and remembering to drink plenty of water and empty the bladder often may not fit so well with the mood -- but try to remember. Best wishes.
