Urinary tract infections are more common in females because the female urinary tract is much closer to the outer layers of the skin than would be in a male. The UTI is close to the vagina and rectum making it more susceptible to infection caused by waste excreted from the body.

Is there something wrong with me or my partner if she gets bladder infections regularly probably due to sex?
There is nothing wrong with you or your girlfriend. My ex-girlfriend used to get a lot of bladder infections or UTIs(Urinary Tract Infections) after sex. Apparently, just as some people have smaller or larger noses, women can have shorter or longer urethras. Those with shorter urethras tend to get a higher frequency of UTIs. After talking to her doctor about it, he gave her some advice to help minimize the number of UTIs; 1) drink plenty of water. When you are hydrated you will pee more often emptying out the bacteria that can cause UTIs. 2) drink cranberry juice regularily. This will increase the acidity of the urine in your bladder, which inihibits the bacteria in your bladder. Unsweetened cranberry juice is better. You can also get cranberry pills at any pharmacy in the supplements section. 3) Pee after sex. This will help flush out any bacteria that may have backed into the uretha due to sexual activity. If after all this you are still worried then have her talk to her doctor. I read that there were 7 million doctor visits in the United States due to UTIs in 2008, so your girlfriend is not alone.
