Female urethra pain when urinating after sex

Urination is a very normal physiological activity for women and there is no pain. However, some people experience pain when urinating, which confuses many people. In the human detoxification system, the kidneys are the area that produces urine, the urethra is like the detoxification system, the upstream and downstream of the urethra, the bladder is the collection area, and the urethral opening is like the middle and lower reaches of the urethra, which can discharge urine out of the body.

However, the length of female urethra is shorter than that of male urethra, and it is adjacent to the vagina, so it is easy for bacteria to flow back, especially after sexual intercourse, which is why "honeymoon cystitis" is caused.

Generally, the surface of the human urethra is covered with a layer of mucus like a protective film, which can prevent bacteria from adhering to it and invading the tissues. Because the female vagina is adjacent to the stomach and anus, many intestinal bacteria can also break into the vagina and run rampant. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the vaginal mucosa will breed many common bacteria Lactobacillus gingivitis, making the vagina acidic to prevent the invasion of foreign bacteria. When these natural defense functions are congenitally deficient or acquired changes, women will be prone to vaginal or urethral infections.

Common pathogens in clinical medicine are Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Staphylococcus. At this time, the patient generally needs to go to the urology department for medical treatment and undergo a routine urine examination. A routine urine examination will usually indicate an increase in white blood cell count. If this happens for the first time, it can usually be cured by taking oral medication for 3 days.
