A member asked:
What kinds of sexual activities should i stay away from while i have a uti? i know you shouldn't have sex, but is that the only thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let advise you: Frequent or recent sexual activity is the most important risk factor for urinary tract infection in young women. Nearly 80% of all urinary tract infections in premenopausal women occur within 24 hours of intercourse. Women having sex for the first time or who have intense and frequent sex after a period of abstinence are at risk for a condition called "honeymoon cystitis.".
