After sex, the first thing to do when taking a break is to urinate. In normal women, there are many bacteria living around the urethral orifice. During sexual life, due to collision and compression, bacteria can enter the urethra through the urethral orifice, and then ascend along the urethra to the bladder, ureter, and even the kidney, causing cystitis and pyelonephritis. There are also many bacteria in the foreskin dirt accumulated in the penis and glans of men, especially in the coronal sulcus, which can enter the urethra during sexual life and cause urinary tract infections. Bacteria from both partners' genitals can also enter each other's urethra and cause infection. Therefore, urinating after sex is a simple and effective cleaning method, and flushing the urethra with urine can wash away bacteria, thereby reducing the chance of infection.
Cleaning the lower body after sex 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 moist and airtight. These secretions provide a favorable environment for the survival and reproduction of bacteria. Cleaning the lower body and wiping it dry with a clean towel after sex can prevent external genital infection and reduce the chance of urinary tract infection. When washing 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. Not only are the sexual organs of both sides in a highly congested and excited state during the sexual life process, but almost all tissues and organs of the body participate in this special physiological process from the sexual excitement stage to the orgasm stage. It can be said that a satisfying sexual life is equivalent to a moderate intensity of physical exercise. At this time, the energy consumption of the body increases significantly, and the metabolism of tissues and organs is vigorous. This process requires a large amount of water. Therefore, do not go to bed immediately after sexual activity. Be sure to drink a glass of water to supplement the lack of water in the body, otherwise you will feel tired the next day. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, lack of water in the body at night can also cause blood concentration and cause certain diseases. Therefore, do not forget to drink a glass of water after sex.
