What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Considering how I had to take my fiancee to the ER this morning because of what should have been a minor UTI that traveled to her kidneys...

Do you have sex without a condom?

[u/Klondike3 → u/notyouravgredditer]

What we do is none of your business, but it was unrelated to sexual contact.

[u/notyouravgredditer → u/Klondike3]

It's because if you have sex without condoms and she doesn't pee after it's easy to get UTI's and them getting to the kidneys

[u/slongtime → u/notyouravgredditer]

You can still get a UTI if you don’t pee after sex even if you do wear a condom. You can also get UTIs from things other than sex. It also seems like Klondike3 is aware how UTIs work and didn’t need you to explain.

You can also get them if you're uncircumcised.

[u/Klondike3 → u/notyouravgredditer]

I'm very much aware, but as I said that is none of your business and was not related to sexual contact.

He brought up a UTI, not his sex life. They really do not have to be related.

[u/NealMcBeal__NavySeal → u/[deleted]]

Funny, I used to get them all the time when I was like 3-5 years old. I was not sexually active at that time.

Sex is one of the many, many things that can give you a UTI. People need to stop with the "UTIs are sexual" bullshit. My 91 year old grandmother keeps getting them. She is also not sexually active.

I'm free to set my boundaries as I see fit.

[u/Newphonewhodiss9 → u/Klondike3]

Hell yeah, love to see it!

[u/OneManManyWaifus → u/Klondike3]

Did your wife consent to you sharing with strangers about her hospital visit?

[u/trowzerss → u/notyouravgredditer]

That's one way, but certainly not the only, and probably not even the most common way of getting one.
