Hi,

As the female urethra is shorter, ascending infection is more common, especially when the uterus is retroverted which leads to more exposure of the urethra to pressure. Since you have recurring postcoital infection, other factors like infection in the male partner, abnormal immune status, altered blood glucose levels, use of tampons, proper genital hygiene etc. must be checked. Urine culture is useful to plan proper management.

Hope I have answered your query. You can reach me here for further queries.

Regards,
Dr. Shanti Vennam, OBGYN
