For a lady with recurrent UTI, one of the general advices is voiding after the intercourse. Because of female anatomy, vagina and urethra openings are so close so there is chance that the bacteria (especially for poor hygienic partner) gain entry into the urethra and then bladder which can trigger the cystitis. However, a majority of women do not void after sex and most do not have lower UTI.
