A member asked:

Can a large penis cause uti in a woman?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unrelated: The proximity of the pee hole to the vagina leads some women to have a higher frequency of uti's if they are sexually active. Voiding soon after intercourse can flush out any bacteria that entered the pee channel during sex. The effect is similar from localized trauma whether it be a penis or a toy.

Dr Ingram and another doctor agreed
