Urinary tract infections can be sexually transmitted.
Urinary tract infection is also known as urinary tract infection, including pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis, etc., in which urethritis is divided into gonococcal and non-gonococcal, if it is caused by gonococcal infection, it often leads to suppurative infections in the genitourinary system, and the disease may be transmitted through sexual contact, which mainly manifests itself as pain in the urethra, purulent discharge, and so on.
If the urethral infection is caused by non-gonococcal infections, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and other bacterial infections, it is relatively less likely to be transmitted during sexual contact, but it may also lead to infection in the other party.
In addition, urinary tract infections may also be caused by urinary stones, tumors or congenital diseases, and are not caused by sexual transmission.
If you have a urinary tract infection, it is important to take timely treatment, and it is best for your spouse to be examined and treated, and to avoid sexual intercourse during treatment.
