A member asked:
Expert opinion - should my birth control have an effect on me getting uti or bladder infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control & UTI: If you mean birth control 'pills', the short answer is 'no'. Some will have mild drying of vulvovaginal tissues causing symptoms that mimic uti. More commonly, initiation of ocp's for contraception is done to prevent pregnancy in a woman who previously has not been very sexually active. Marked increase in coital activity can cause utis, known as 'honeymoon cystitis.' push fluids: void after sex.
