I had a urinary tract infection a little while ago. I have never had sex, but my boyfriend fingers me a lot. So I'm wondering how I got this UTI. Can you get a UTI from being fingered? What other ways can you get UTI?

You can get an UTI from bacteria entering the vagina, which could be caused by your boyfriend fingering you. Ask your boyfriend to wash his hands thouroughly (and clean under his nails) because this could be the cause of the UTI's. You can also get UTI's from not wiping from front to back, not cleansing properly, or from bacteria your body produces. There are antibacterial wipes you can purchase from walmart or your nearest drug store which can help cut down on bacteria. Also, you shouldn't take baths, because that can cause UTI's. It also may not be something that you are doing. Many women and young girls get UTI's. The best thing to do is to talk to your doctor or visit your gynocologist if you get symptoms of a UTI in the future. Here are some websites which may help you as well. I hope this helps. <3 Dana

I had a urinary tract infection just a few days ago. [i'm on medicine for it right now] i'm pretty sure you don't get it from anything sexual, though.

Although any sexual activity increases your chances of getting a UTI you can get them randomly, just out of the blue as well.
Best way to avoid them is to go pee after any sexual activity and clean yourself up. That will flush any bacteria that creeped up there out. Nothing else to do really. UTI's aren't really serious as long as you catch them early, and drinking lots of cranberry juice will really dull the pain until you can get to a doctor.
