Can you pass A UTI to ur partner threw sex?

---

is a UTI contagious?

That's a good question. Under normal circumstances they are not, but they can result from sexual activity because bacteria on the surface can be pushed into the urethra, where they can set up an infection.You can also get a bad skin infection if your cut if the bacteria on the surface of your skin gets pushed into the wound.

Yes you can pass it. I had a doctor tell me that a while ago, when I had one.

My doctor told me they aren't contagious.

Clearly you can get a UTI without catching it from someone, since there are plenty of women who've gotten a UTI, but who have never had sexual relations. I supposed it's possible for a woman to pick up bacteria from someone else that's more virulent that the bacteria that colonizes here skin, but it's less likely. Kind of like bringing sand to a beach.

I never said that is the only way to get an UTI, I just said my doctor said you can pass it.
How you get one is through getting bacteria up inside your pee hole, mostly by not going to the bathroom after having sex. Or from drinking too much caffeine, the doc told me that too.

Caffeine? That's surprising, since caffeine is a diuretic (makes you pee).
