Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Lubrication should be good; otherwise, microabrasions can occur, which can cause infections. There are dormant infections that need to be treated. Both of you need to be treated in order to decrease the chance of recurrence. If UTIs persist after sex despite these measures, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice and may recommend further investigation or treatment options.

Thanks
