URINARY TRACT INFECTION AND SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP

WHAT IS A URINARY TRACT INFECTION?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract, often caused by E. coli.

SEXUAL ACTIVITY AND URINARY TRACT INFECTION

Sexual activity can facilitate the entry of bacteria into the urinary tract, increasing the risk, especially for women.

UTIs VS. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS

UTIs are not sexually transmitted infections, but sexual activity can increase the risk of developing a UTI.

SYMPTOMS OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

UTIs present symptoms like burning during urination, frequent urination, and pelvic pain.

WHAT TO DO AFTER SEX?

Urinating after sex can help flush bacteria from the urinary tract. This simple step contributes to preventing urinary tract infections.

IMPORTANCE OF HYGIENE

Good genital hygiene can help prevent urinary tract infections. Regular cleaning prevents bacterial growth and protects your health.

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR?

Seek medical attention immediately if you experience severe pain, fever, or blood in urine.
