Can semen stuck in the uretha cause infection?

Misinformed?: Semen does not get stuck in the urethra. If you can pee you do not have something 'stuck' in the urethra. If you feel you have prostate leakage you should be tested for STDs urgently.

Not usually: A women's urethra (tube from bladder to outside) is very short. So its easy for bacteria in the urethra to work their way into the bladder during intercourse. Unless your partner has an infection, stuck semen is not usually infectious. Its a good idea to always urinate after intercourse to get rid of any bacteria. This will help prevent urinary infections. Best Wishes!
