Do utis cause pain during intercourse?
I've been dealing with recurring UTIs for a while now, and recently, intercourse has become quite painful. Is it possible that UTIs are causing this pain during intimacy?

Yes, they absolutely do. My gynecologist explained that the urethra is situated right next to the vaginal wall, so any friction during intercourse can aggravate the already inflamed urinary tract, causing sharp pain.

I panicked so badly when it first hurt, thinking I had some major disease. But my doctor assured me it was just a simple UTI causing the pain. Once I finished my antibiotics, everything went back to normal.

Haan bilkul, UTI mein bahut jyada pain hota hai relation banane ke time pe. Jab tak infection poori tarah thik na ho jaye, tab tak avoid karna hi sahi hai, na?

Yes, it is very painful and you should avoid intercourse until the UTI is cleared. Focus on drinking plenty of water and maybe do some light walking if your body feels up to it, but avoid heavy pelvic exercises.

It is completely understandable to feel anxious and scared when sex becomes suddenly painful. Please know that you are not alone, and it is a very common symptom of UTI. Just get a quick urine test done and talk to a doctor.

Yeah, it definitely does. My girlfriend had this issue last semester and it was super painful for her. Best to just wait till the antibiotics course is totally done.
