Question About UTI and Having Sex Posted: 09-26-07 12:08pm
My girlfriend had a UTI and it has been 5
days since it was hurting. The doctor told
her not to have sex for 2 weeks and we
understand that. But my girlfriend and I
were talking last night and I was
wondering something about the no sex
thing. I love to please my girlfriend and
understand that we cannot have vaginal
sex. We were wondering though if manual
stimulation of the clitoris would still be
ok as long as everything was cleaned
beforehand and there was no pain.
Thanks,
Joesph

I never had a doctor tell me I couldn't
have sex when I had a UTI... weird. I
don't know. She should ask her doctor, I
guess.

I've never heard of banning sex due to a
UTI either.
I wouldn't see a problem with trying it
out as long as everything is clean-seeing
how it's been 5 days since she felt any
pain.

As long as there is no pain and she is
taking her antibiotics then she should be
fine to have vaginal sex. The antibiotics
would prevent her from getting reinfected
during sex. Just tell her to pee after,
even if you dont have vaginal sex.

I know yeast infections can be passed back
and forth between partners, but I've never
heard that about uti's. I might use a
condom just in case, you don't want to get
one too!
And remember that antibiotics decrease the
effectiveness of birth control pills, if
she's on them.
