    Frequent intercourse is linked to urinary tract infections (UTIs) in young women. Contraceptive method choice did not significantly impact UTI risk when intercourse frequency was considered.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common among young women.
    • The role of sexual activity and contraceptive methods in UTI etiology requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the association between contraceptive practices and UTI occurrence.
    • To determine if intercourse frequency mediates the relationship between contraceptive methods and UTI.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative survey was conducted among young women.
    • Participants were categorized based on the presence or absence of confirmed UTI.
    • Data collected included contraceptive method usage and frequency of intercourse.

    • Women with UTIs reported significantly higher intercourse frequency compared to those without UTIs.
    • A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between intercourse frequency and UTI.
    • Contraceptive method type showed no significant association with UTI when intercourse frequency was controlled.

    Conclusions:

    • Intercourse frequency is a significant risk factor for UTIs in young women.
    • The type of contraceptive method used does not appear to be an independent risk factor for UTI.
    • Further research should focus on behavioral factors like intercourse frequency in UTI prevention strategies.
