Can you have sex with a urinary tract infection?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have just been carefully diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, but I had sexual intercourse with my husband. Can you have sex with a urinary tract infection?

Doctor's answer:

With a urinary tract infection, it is best to avoid sexual activity to prevent cross-infection and affect the other person. It is recommended to take effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medication according to the prescribed course. Pay attention to hygiene and dryness in the lower body, and change underwear frequently. Maintain a regular diet, avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and protect your abdomen from cold to prevent catching a cold. Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to help alleviate symptoms.
