Can multiple partners cause a UTI?

No scientific evidence supports the claim that multiple partners can directly cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). UTIs are primarily caused by bacterial infections that enter the urethra and travel to the bladder. While having multiple sexual partners may increase the risk of exposure to bacteria, it is not a direct cause of UTIs.

Other risk factors, such as poor hygiene, infrequent urination, and underlying health conditions, play significant roles in developing UTIs. Practicing safe sex, maintaining proper hygiene, and seeking medical attention for any urinary symptoms can help prevent and manage UTIs effectively.
