UTIs are not contagious, so they aren't passed by sex, but some aspects of sex increase the odds of UTI:

  • The bladder may get "bumped" during vaginal sex, causing irritation that makes it easier for bacteria to "take hold" in the bladder.
  • Lubricants and other chemicals used in the vulvar area during sex can cause irritation that makes it harder to fight off germs.
  • The extra moisture during sex can make it easier to transfer the germs that typically cause UTI from the rectal area (where they normally occur) to the urethral opening, where they can start an infection.
