Patient's question:
My husband and I are living in separate places. When he comes home or when I visit him for a family reunion, we have frequent sexual activity, about three times a day. Is this harmful in any way? Please provide guidance.Doctor's answer:
Hello:A survey shows that people who have sexual intercourse more than three times a week are more likely to develop kidney infections. Generally speaking, having sexual intercourse four to five times a week, or having excessively long sessions, are both considered "excessive." Excessive sexual activity can lead to bacteria entering the urethra and even ascending to the bladder, causing most urinary tract infections in women. Additionally, other sexual habits, such as frequently changing sexual partners and using spermicide-containing contraceptives, can also increase the risk of urinary tract infections.
