Sexual activity (coitus and/or cunnilingus-especially!) is a frequent reason for a recurring UTI. Not to be indelicate, getting up and urinating following either is a BIG help in staving off intercourse related UTIs. The concept is to rinse out any bacteria that may have been "pushed" up the urethra during intimacy.
