During a recent study involving 240 women between the age of 18 to 49, it was apparent that sex does cause a kidney infection in some women with a high risk medical history. It appears sex can cause a kidney infection in women who take part in frequent episodes of sexual intercourse, more than three times per week. Frequent sexual intercourse appears to cause a kidney infection 5 times more likely than in women who do not have frequent intercourse. A history of urinary tract infections can raise a woman's risk for a kidney infection by four times compared to those who haven't had a urinary tract infection.
