You can get a UTI without having sex, although sex can definitely cause one.  Drinking the "cranberry juice" you find in the supermarket won't help you (it's usually cranberry juice cocktail, which has more sugar than actual cranberry).  While there's some evidence that taking concentrated cranberry tablets can help prevent UTIs, they won't treat one you already have.  If you do have a UTI, you'll need antibiotics to clear it up.  Urgency and stinging can be signs of a UTI, so you should go to a clinic and get it checked out.

Keeping you and your boyfriend clean (with gentle, fragrance free soap to avoid irritation) and peeing before and after sex can help by flushing the urethra, making it harder for bacteria forced up there to settle in and grow.

It very common for uti i just had onebut it lead to my kidneys because the antibiotcs whrre not strong but my doc told me to prevent them was to make sure me or my bf  wash our selves before having sex  and make sure u go to the bathroom after also
