yes, sex and masturbating has nothing to to with UTI's. UTI's are caused by dirt or a virus getting into your urinary tract and not getting out causing an infection.

Yes, girls have a short urinary tract (shorter than men) and any mucus/debris can collect around this area and cause an infection. To prevent this problem always urinate after sex/masturbation to wash out any infection. This is different to STD or STI which are sexually transmitted.

Being as how I am not a doctor or anything of the sort, I cannot say with a medical certainty.
But in my personal opinion, I would think that you could absolutely get one that way.
I mean, as you may or may not be aware of.. you can get a UTI from many things, being as how it is just a bacterial type of thing.
So, my advice to you is that if you think you may have one, you can either mention it to your doctor, or you could also get one of those home UTI test kits that they make now. Either way you go, if it is positive, you will more than likely need to see your doctor, so they can put you on the right meds to take care of it.
If you're really concerned that you may have one, be sure to get yourself looked at, so it doesn't get worse.
Take care!

yes if you dont wash your vibrater -or if you wipe wrong(back to front).also if you drink to much carbonated drinks it can irritate your urinary tract and make it feel like you have UTI.
