Post-coital UTI: Has acquired name because it occurs after sex. "pumping action" of sexual intercourse pushes bacteria up into bladder where they multiply & cause cystitis. This is reason for advice to women to empty their bladders after sex thus eliminating bacteria and significantly reducing risk of "honeymoon cystitis".
