After sex, take a break and the first thing to do is to urinate. There are many bacteria living around the urethral opening in normal women. During sexual activity, due to collision and compression, bacteria can enter the urethra through the urethral opening, and then ascend along the urethra to the bladder, ureter, and even the kidneys, causing cystitis and pyelonephritis. There are also many bacteria in the penis glans of men, especially in the smegma accumulated in the coronal groove. During sexual life, they will enter the urethra and cause urinary tract infection. Bacteria from both partners' genitals can also enter the other's urethra and cause infection. Therefore, urinating after sexual intercourse is a simple and effective cleaning method, and flushing the urethra with urine can flush out bacteria, thereby reducing the chance of infection.
Cleaning the lower body after sexual activity is an essential process. During sexual activity, male semen and female vaginal secretions adhere to the external genitalia, especially the female perineum and male scrotum, which are both damp and breathable. These secretions provide a favorable environment for bacterial survival and reproduction. Cleaning the lower body in a timely manner after sexual intercourse and wiping it dry with a clean towel can not only prevent external genital infections but also reduce the chances of urinary tract infections. When cleaning the external genitalia, warm water should be used to wash from front to back to prevent the sewage from washing around the anus from flowing back to the external genitalia, thereby contaminating the genitalia.
Don't forget to drink a glass of water after sex. During sexual activity, not only are the sexual organs of both parties in a highly congested and excited state, but almost all tissues and organs of the body participate in this special physiological process from sexual excitement to orgasm. It can be said that a satisfying sexual activity is equivalent to engaging in moderate intensity physical exercise. At this point, the energy consumption of the body significantly increases, and the metabolism of tissues and organs is vigorous. This process requires a large amount of water consumption, so do not go to bed immediately after sexual activity. Be sure to drink a glass of water to supplement the body's water deficiency, otherwise you will feel tired the next day. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, a lack of water in the body at night can cause blood concentration and lead to certain diseases. Therefore, do not forget to drink a glass of water after sexual activity.
Cleaning the lower body after living is an essential process.
