Can i still have sexual intercourse while i have a uti?

Dr. Allison Urrutia answered

Recommend not: It is best to wait until you have fully treated your UTI before resuming intercourse. Women have a short urethra, which increases risks for uti. I recommend voiding after intercourse to decrease your risk.
