Can a girl get sterile from having a urinary tract infection?

Answer 1

Urinary Tract Infections are unrelated to the reproductive system. A UTI can cause kidney infection and potentially result in kidney failure, but there is little to no risk of becoming infertile simply because of a urinary tract infection.

Overview

Dysuria - a painful, burning sensation during urination - is a common complaint for young women. It often indicates urinary tract infection but can also indicate sexually transmitted infection.

Tests and examinations are important to make the correct diagnosis , so that the right treatment can be given

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) or Sexually transmitted Disease (STD)?

Studies show no significant difference in symptoms between UTI and STDs. Sexually transmitted diseases can cause dysuria from external lesions on the vagina or urethral inflammation, with or without vaginal discharge.

Acute urethral syndrome secondary to candida or trichomonial vaginitis can result in both dysuria and vaginal discharge, however many women with urinary tract infections also complain of vaginal discharge. Frequency and urgency can be a symptom of both UTIs and STDs.

The incidence of sexually transmitted diseases is higher in sexually active adolescents than women in other age groups. For instance even when risky behaviour is controlled, the incidence of chlamydia is twice as high among women of 15-19 years than others. Susceptible columnar epithelium on the outer cervix of adolescents does not change to "flatter" (squamous) epithelium until women reach their 20s and this may in part explain the higher incidence.

Untreated chlamydial or gonorrheal infections can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, a condition that can damage the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Studies show sexually active adolescent girls have a much greater chance of developing pelvic inflammatory disease than women in other age groups (1 in 8, compared with 1 in 80). Apart from chronic pelvic pain often associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, the risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy is obviously serious to a woman entering her reproductive years.
