Whether or not a urinary tract infection can be cured a few days after sexual intercourse depends on the specific problem, depending on the type and severity of the infection. If the infection is a relatively mild common bacterial infection, such as the presence of mild urinary frequency, urgency and pain, it is often possible to cure it by allowing the patient to drink more water and urinate more often. This condition is commonly seen in female patients and is determined by the peculiarities of the female urethra. In women, the urethra is closer to the anus and vagina, so hygiene is not particularly good, making it easy to develop a post-sexual urethral infection, while in men, the urethra is longer and less prone to urethral infections. In the case of specific bacterial infections, such as gonorrhea, or gonococcal urethritis, which is a sexually transmitted disease with little chance of cure, it is mostly seen in men. The symptoms are more obvious in men, often manifesting as urethral stinging and pus flowing 3-7 days after sexual intercourse, or even 1 day later, and must be seen in the urology department or dermatological venereal disease department of a regular public hospital to avoid delay and complications, such as urethral stricture.
