Is it possible to pass uti threw sex is it possible to pass uti threw sex

Yes, : Yes, it is very possible. The bacteria can be carried into the male or female's urethra and introduce it into the bladder. Do not have unprotected sex if you or your partnet has a uti. It can also worsen the condition and cause severe discomfort.

Not really: Not really, but in females the urethra is very short and bacteria can be introduced readily during sex increasing the the possibility of a UTI. That is why it is recommended to empty the bladder as soon as it is convenient post sex to reduce that risk.
