Chronic UTI's: Recurring urinary tract infections after intercourse is usually a function of not emptying the bladder as soon as convenient, mechanically 'rough" encounter, or vaginal sex after anal sex without cleansing. Also, make sure that you return to the MD and have a urine culture and sensitivity test done to be certain that the infection is gone and if not, what antibiotic is best to Rx. the infection.

Sex and UTI: Sex is a common trigger of urinary tract infection (UTI) in some women, due primarily to colonization of the vaginal area with UTI causing bacteria that originate in the GI tract, e.g. E. coli and similar. Sex can massage the bacteria into the urethra. Taking a dose or two of antibiotic before or following sex sometimes is effective prevention. Discuss w/ your doctor or an ID specialist.
