A member asked:
If i have sex when i have a uti can that prolong the uti even if i'm on antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: If you're still having symptoms like painfur or urgent urination, perhaps sex could temporarily make the symptoms more obvious. But it shouldn't prolong the infection or interfere with treatment.
