Urinary tract infections?????????/?

urinary tract infections are transfered to a man by a women by the sexual relation?

YES. 100 percent possible.

No. That is certainly not why people get them.

Most UTIs are caused when bacteria infect the urinary tract. The urinary tract is made up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, and each plays a role in removing liquid waste from the body. The kidneys filter the blood and produce urine; the ureters carry the urine from the kidneys to the bladder; and the bladder stores the urine until it is eliminated from the body through the urethra.

An infection can occur anywhere along this tract, but the lower part - the urethra and bladder - is most commonly involved. This is called cystitis. If the infection travels up the ureters to the kidneys, it's called pyelonephritis and it's generally more serious.

Although bacteria aren't normally found in the urine, they can easily enter the urinary tract from the skin around the anus (the intestinal bacteria E. coli is the most frequent cause of UTIs). Many other bacteria, and some viruses, can also cause infection. Rarely, bacteria can reach the bladder or kidneys through the blood.

Although sex can certainly transfer bacteria from a man to a woman, most frequently that is not the root cause of the infection, which must be treated by a doctor.
