What are ths causes of uti? is sex the only reason that causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UTI: There are many underlying reasons why women get utis, not all of them related to sexual activity. Sex, can however, induce UTI because the penis may traumatize the urethra (tube from bladder out) and the swelling produces a physiologic obstruction resulting in infection. There are many other factors. Keep drinking large amounts of liquid and urinating frequently and this may help reduce risk.
