A member asked:

Could sitting on the shower floor several times have caused me a 19 yo male to get a uti? i was put on bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) by my doctor.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Men are sitting everywhere and anywhere, at this very moment, all over the world... But very very few will get a UTI (urinary tract infection), and their uti's are not related to how or where they were sitting.
