The Importance of Urinating After Sex: Preventing Infections

In addition to urinating after sex, several other practices can help maintain urinary tract health:

  • Proper hydration: Drinking enough water daily is key to keeping the urinary tract healthy. Adequate hydration helps dilute urine and flush out bacteria.

  • Good personal hygiene: Maintain proper intimate hygiene. Make sure to clean yourself properly before and after sexual activity.

  • Avoid irritants: Products such as scented soaps, vaginal douches, or sprays can irritate the urinary tract. Opt for mild, fragrance-free products.

  • Wear appropriate underwear: Tight clothing can create an environment conducive to bacterial growth. Choose breathable cotton underwear.
