edit"Sexual intercourse increases risk of a urinary tract infection in females in several ways. Within 24 hours of intercourse the risk of bacteriuria increases.[1] Certain sexual practices, such as the use of spermicides, can increase the susceptibility to UTIs by killing the lactobacilli normally found in the vagina. [1] Lactobacilli are protective because they can competitively exclude E Coli, which is the primary bacterial cause of infection. In addition these lactobacilli also decrease vaginal pH and by producing hydrogen peroxide, which is effective in killing many bacteria. [1] As the frequency of intercourse is also a factor in the likelihood of getting an infection, women who have recurring UTIs are often encouraged to take prophylactics after sexual intercourse.[1]
The decrease in estrogen caused by menopause can increase susceptibility to urinary tract infections. Estrogen nurtures robust vaginal microbiota as well as the protective epithelium of the bladder.[1] "
Males get urinary tract infections at a significantly lower rate than women.[1]
