According to John A. Vaughn, MD of the Ohio State University, Se.xual
interc.ourse is one of the biggest risk factors for women developing a
urinary tract infection (“UTI,” “bladder infection”).The urethra, which is the tube that connects the bladder to the outside
of the body, is right next to the vagin.al opening. Bacteria from the
gastrointestinal tract can sometimes colonize the vagi.na, and during
se.x this bacteria can work its way up the urethra and infect the
bladder or kidneys.
