Does herpes-virus cause uti's

Herpes viruses, specifically herpes simplex virus (HSV), are not a common cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). UTIs are primarily caused by bacteria, most often Escherichia coli. However, in some cases, HSV can lead to urinary symptoms if there is genital herpes with lesions affecting the urethra or bladder, but this is not classified as a typical UTI. If you suspect a UTI or have symptoms related to herpes, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
