Can UTI affect the male if the female has it?

Yes, a urinary tract infection (UTI) can potentially affect a male if he has sexual contact with a female who has the infection. While UTIs are more common in females due to anatomical differences, the bacteria causing the infection can be transmitted during sexual activity. However, UTIs are generally not considered sexually transmitted infections. If a male develops symptoms after contact, he should consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and potential treatment.
