A urinary tract infection is caused when bacteria gets into your bladder by the urethra. This bacteria can then travel up the ureters into the kidneys causing pylonephritis (kidney infection). The most common bacteria that causes a urinary tract infection is E Coli. A urinary tract infection is not contagious. However you should not participate in sexual activity as you can introduce new bacteria into the urinary tract. Also it is important to urinate after sexual activity to help "flush" away any bacteria that may be trying to travel up the urethra. peeing after sexual activity doesn't mean it stops you from becoming pregnant.
