Q: Do Spermicides Cause Utis?

I've read somewhere that spermicides can cause uti's. Is this true? Are all brands like this? Is there any "gentle" spermicide out there that won't?

Thanks so much!

Yeah I think all spermicides contribute to utis. Don't think there is such a thing as a "gentle spermicide"
