Condoms, including Lelo Hex condoms, do not directly cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, improper use of condoms or other forms of penetration can increase the risk of UTIs. For example, if a condom breaks or is not used properly, there is an increased risk of bacteria entering the urinary tract and causing an infection.
To reduce the risk of UTIs, it's important to practice good hygiene and to always use a new, fresh condom for each sexual encounter. If you experience symptoms of a UTI such as pain or burning during urination, an increased need to urinate, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, or lower abdominal pain, it's important to see a doctor or healthcare provider for treatment.
