is it possible for a male to get a urinary tract infection from having anal sex?


Question:
i recently had anal sex with my girlfriend, and now i think i have a urinary tract infection. ive never had one before. but my girlfriend has. and i feel like i have the same symptoms that she has described.

Answers:
Any time bacteria can get in there (and kind of sex, but anal would be even more likely) you can get a UTI. If you really do have one, the only way to make sure it's gone is to go to the doctor and get antibiotics.

In the mean time, there are 2 products you can buy almost anywhere (UriStat and Azo - both are the same drug) that will keep the symptoms under control until you can get the antibiotics.

Don't mess with it -- left untreated a UTI can lead to bladder and kidney infections!

Other Answers:
Yes, it is. just like you can get a yeast infection
yes...bacteria is even more abundant in the gastrointestional tract. treatments are antibiotics.
you may have a piece of corn stuck in there!!!
Yes, you need a doc to prescribe something.
Yes it's possible, because there are bacteria in the booty that aren't in the pooty.
So, get to the doctor, because those UTI's hurt the longer you leave them untreated!

And for future reference, use a condom next time to protect your weiner. ;)
yeah it is go to the pharmacy and ask what to use it may be ambarrising if so go to one farther away from your house so no one knows you

Yes it is possible, as that area has so much bacteria. You may need an antibiotic, such as septra. They have over the counter UTI tests, I don't know the stats on their accuracy, maybe someone else on the board will.
Actually yes. Remember that you are in contact with a human part that has a lot of waste and that the minimum particle can start many types of infection. So the best advice that I can give to you if you don't want to visit a Dr. is to tell your symptoms to a pharmacist and he will give you a prescription without Rx.
no, you cant get urine infection by sex. it happens from inside.the reasons are not having lot of water and if you hold your urine then you have infection. have a lot of water and never hold in your urine. always urine before and after sex. if you have fever then go to a doctor. the doctor will give you a urine test and will give you antibiotic for your infection. dont worry, your girlfriend can never give you urine infection.
very possible.our body have different micro organism that is normal at a specific site of the body.the anus for example,most predominantly inhabited by the E.coli. the skin also has its own normal flora.if that organism was brought to the sites where it is not suppose to live,it might cause infections.or the urinary tract infection you have may be brought by your girlfriend's infection.
NO !!!!! NO !!!!! NO !!!!!

If that were the case more men would have had
a urinary tract infection ... this is not a true statement. The majority of the men that do get
a urinary tract infection have not or do not
practice anal sex.

You just happen to do your girl via rear entry and
get an infection ... you would have still gotten an infection if you had opted to not have anal sex.
yes , try lots of water ,cranberry juice or pills .if he doesn't get better go to DR.
