Urinary tract infection risk can be higher among women who have sexual intercourse with men who use condoms, especially those which have a spermicide Nonoxynol-9 coating.
A cohort of 519 women between the ages of 15 and 29 were enrolled in a contraceptive acceptability study to examine whether recent use of male condoms increases urinary tract infection risk.
Urinary tract infection was identified among 165 women over a 12-month follow-up period by researchers at the School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, California, United States.
Researchers then analysed 100 of the women with urinary tract infections, after excluding those who had had a recurrence of a urinary tract infection, urinary tract abnormalities, used antibiotics, used either a diaphragm or cervical cap, or who were pregnant. They were matched with 200 controls.
