I got a urinary tract infection after having sex.

Some female friends feel that they develop urinary tract infections after having sex, so they wonder if the same disease can also occur with male companions.

The urethral environment will be changed during sexual intercourse. If you do not pay attention to the cleanliness of the genitals before having sex, symptoms of urinary tract infection are likely to occur.

In addition, female friends who do not pay attention to personal hygiene are likely to increase the incidence of gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. If either party's genitals are inflamed or carry bacteria, then the bacteria can take the opportunity to invade the other party's or their own urinary tract and cause inflammation, and may also induce urinary tract infection, so personal hygiene is very important.
