First, why do women urinate frequently after having sex? It is very common in clinical practice for women to experience symptoms of urinary urgency, frequent urination and painful urination after having sex.

It is characterized by increased secretions from the urethra on the basis of symptoms of frequent urination, urgency and painful urination, and increased white blood cell count in urine tests, sometimes accompanied by red blood cells. The second reason is local irritation, which is related to the frequency and method of sexual life, causing congestion and edema of the urethra, urethral opening, and even the vulva; the third reason is related to the structural relationship between the urethral opening and the vaginal opening. The most common reason is that the distance between the urethral opening and the vaginal opening is relatively close (less than 1 cm).

Second, urinary tract infection causes inflammation. During sexual intercourse, the male's penis can easily bring bacteria into the female's vagina. Over time, this can cause urinary tract infection and the illusion of frequent urination. Therefore, before sexual intercourse, both men and women should clean their bodies thoroughly; when men suffer from diseases such as balanitis, it is best not to have sexual intercourse. At the same time, after each sexual intercourse, women should actively urinate and clean the inside of the vagina.
