UTI's frequently accompany STD's especially in females. The reason for this is that the urethra and the female sexual organ are in close proximity of each other, enabling the transfer of bacteria.

∙ 15y agoInfections that occur after primary infection are called "opportunistic" and may take advantage of a weakened immune system to also appear. The body carries many types of organisms simultaneously, and often men and women may be given two types of antibiotics to be taken together, such as amoxicillin and metronidazole. ---- Excellent answer above, and I would like to add that when a person is taking an antibiotic for a primary infection (not only STD's), that particular antibiotic will work to destroy the pathogen causing the original infection, but because antibiotics cannot differentiate between good and bad cells, many times they destroy the normal flora of the body. This is how "superinfections" such as vaginal yeast infections (UTI's) are promoted....the antibiotics not only kill the pathogens causing the infection, but they also kill off our normal defenses. So if a person is being treated with antibiotics for an STD, those antibiotics can make them more suceptible to some infections like UTI's.

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.

Can an STD cause urinary tract infections?
One reason STDs spread is because people think they can only be infected if they have sexual intercourse. That's wrong. A person can get some STDs, like herpes or genital warts, through skin-to-skin contact with an infected area or sore. Another myth about STDs is that you can't get them if you have oral or anal sex. That's also wrong because the viruses or bacteria that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals. STDs also spread easily because you can't tell whether someone has an infection. In fact, some people with STDs don't even know that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.
