I need to take antibiotics for a urinary tract infection but I had sexual intercourse 3 days ago. Should I wait 5 days?

No, you do not need to wait 5 days before taking antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. It is important to start treating the infection as soon as possible to prevent it from worsening. Antibiotics typically do not affect the efficacy of contraceptive pills, so you should continue taking them as prescribed.
