Answer 2

Drink plenty of the Cranberry juice

(Oh, and let's be careful out there!)

Answer 3

if it doesnt cure, u will probably have vaginal infection, that your boyriend will take.. the vaginal infection viseversaly can be the cause of UTI .... drink a lot of water despite your doctor's prescription, always avoid your genital area  being wet, after toilet, bath, shower,.... try to wash it soon afer s*x

Answer 4

I am afraid female anatomy, with the relatively close proximity of the a**s to the urethra is the simple answer in most women. s*x increases the risk of bacterial UTIs, but it can also produce the symptoms of a UTI without infection, simply due to trauma. This is often called ' Honeymoon cystitis.' You can't infect your boyfriend with a UTI simple because of the anatomical differences.

Edit:- Looking at many of the other answers, which I never do until I have added mine, I am sorry to see that despite the now overwhelming evidence that cranberry juice is any better than any other fluids at helping flush out the kidneys and bladder in UTIs, it is just another urban myth that refuses to die!

Answer 5

It seems rather a rapid incubation period  - but it is possible. Usually caused by e-coli bacteria from the gut/faeces and tends to affect women more than men.  If using Cranberry juice btw make sure it is unsweetened - although this is more beneficial in cases of cystitis.

Answer 6

yes he could catch it unless he was wearing a comdom ok

Answer 7

Answer 8

UTI in a woman can be caused by several things...not urinating immediately after s*x, oral s*x when your partner has not cleaned his mouth prior, taking a tub bath, wiping back to front instead of front to back, not drinking enough water, and of course not changing sanitary products every two hours when you have your period.  Any one or all of these can cause a UTI.

No, you will not give it to your boyfriend, but you can keep reinfecting yourself if you have s*x while you are infected.  suggest you abstain until the antibiotics are completed, and then pay heed to the above, and don't do them.
