A member asked:
Is it possible to transmit a uti to my partner?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rarely: I believe under very certain circumstances an infection of the urinary tract from possibly a hygiene problem could be contagious; perhaps a bacterium such as e.Coli could be transmitted to a partner, but from what i understand under most circumstances, no. It would be best to consult with a urologist who is specially trained in the diagnosis and treatment of uti's. Good luck!
