As the ages are getting bigger, we are listening what we shall do and what we shouldn’t do before and after sex.

For women is whispering that they need to empty the bladder before sexual intercourse in order to eliminate the urinary tract infection.

This is not true; the urologic are warning that you need to do exactly the opposite.

If you do this, you will put your health at risk.

David Kauffman is the urologist who declares that urinating before sex is one of the most common misconceptions he has had to tackle with his female patients, and is also “the number one cause of post-coital urinary tract infections, also known as honeymoon cystitis”.

During the intercourse vaginal bacteria can be pushed into urethra, which will allow the easier travel of bacteria and causing infection and inflammation.

In addition we are going to present you several tips which will be useful to you:

• Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and help clear bacteria from the urinary tract
• Go to the toilet as soon as you feel the need to urinate, rather than holding it in
• Wipe from front to back after going to the toilet
• Practise good hygiene by washing your genitals every day, and before having sex
• Empty your bladder after having sex
• It’s best to avoid using excessive lubrication, sex toys, or a vaginal sponge, which can be a haven for bacteria.

Furthermore, being hydrated and peeing right after sex are the most important things.
