A member asked:

Why might someone have a urinary tract infection two weeks after losing their virginity?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Burning after sex: Your symptoms are suggestive of a urinary tract infection. (UTI). You may have gotten it by having intercourse. That is because women have a short urethra. This allows bacteria to enter the bladder, causing a UTI during sex. To prevent this, try urinating as soon as possible after I. This will enable the urine to wash the bacteria out of your bladder and prevent a UTI. Good luck.
