How should I take care of the itchiness on both sides of my urethra at night?

I believe most people have had this feeling: when they want to sleep at night, their private parts will feel itchy and cannot be eliminated no matter what, which affects their normal rest, life and work. At this time, you need to be alert to whether you have a urinary tract infection. The most obvious symptom of a urinary tract infection is urethral itching. So how should you prevent and care for your urethra?

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Pay attention to personal hygiene at ordinary times to prevent bacterial invasion and infection. Wear cotton underwear to keep you cool, avoid tight, non-breathable pants, and change your underwear frequently. Do not use public baths or bathtubs, do not sit on unsterilized toilets, and do not share a towel with others.

2. Drink plenty of water

The longer urine stays in the bladder, the greater the bacterial count - the number of E. coli bacteria doubles every 20 minutes. The more bacteria there are, the more uncomfortable you feel. Therefore, the best way to deal with urethral pain is to drink plenty of fluids to flush away the bacteria that cause inflammation. If your urine is clear, you are drinking enough water. If your urine is colored, it means you are not drinking enough water.

3. Avoid rough movements

Couples should clean their bodies before having sex, especially the husband must be loving and avoid using rough actions that may hurt his wife.

4. Going to the toilet before and after sex

This helps flush bacteria out of the vagina—otherwise, bacteria could be transferred to the bladder during sexual intercourse. You should also go to the toilet after sexual intercourse. The male penis can send bacteria from the female urethra to the bladder. Therefore, urination can effectively "clean" the bladder.

5. Wipe your body towards the shield

After a bowel movement, wiping from front to back can prevent infection. Incorrect wiping technique is one of the most common causes of infection and can also lead to recurrence. You want to wipe the bacteria outward rather than inward toward your vagina and urethra.
