TLDR
Dysuria and urinary frequency are more common among sexually active women during the month after a routine pelvic examination than controls during the 4 weeks before and after this study.Abstract:
Purpose:To determine if urinary symptoms are more common in women during the 4 weeks after a routine pelvic examination. Methods:This was a 4-week, prospective, observational cohort study in a Family Medicine residency clinic at an urban university. Participants included women ages 18 to 40 years who identified themselves as sexually active and who presented for a routine pelvic examination. Controls were women presenting for other health maintenance with no pelvic examination. Independent variables included age, pelvic examination/no pelvic examination, intercourse frequency, and condom use. Dependent variables included dysuria and urinary frequency. Relative rates of dysuria and frequency were compared using χ2 analysis. Mean rates of dysuria, frequency, intercourse, and condom use were compared using 2-tailed t tests. Results:Sixty-three subjects and 87 controls completed the study. More subjects had days with dysuria (17% vs 7%; P Conclusions:Dysuria and urinary frequency are more common among sexually active women during the month after a routine pelvic examination.read more

TL;DR: The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of performing screening pelvic examinations in asymptomatic, nonpregnant adult women.

Establishment of a persistent Escherichia coli reservoir during the acute phase of a bladder infection.
TL;DR: It is shown that type 1-piliated uropathogens can invade the superficial epithelial cells that line the lumenal surface of the bladder and subsequently replicate, forming massive foci of intracellular E. coli termed bacterial factories.

TL;DR: Among sexually active young women the incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infection is high, and the risk is strongly and independently associated with recent sexual intercourse, recent use of a diaphragm with spermicide, and a history of recurrent urinary tract infections.

TL;DR: Two predictors suggest that genetic/long-term environmental exposures also predispose to RUTI, and in young women, risk factors for sporadic UTI are also risk Factors for recurrence.
