Do condoms help prevent UTIs?

Condoms can help prevent UTIs by reducing the transfer of bacteria between partners, but some people may experience increased irritation from condoms, especially those with spermicide.

Clinical Context

We recommend non-spermicidal condoms for those with recurrent UTIs: UTI Clinic.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Barrier methods are generally protective; avoid spermicides. NHS: NHS info.
