How long does it take for a woman to have sex if she has a urinary tract infection?

Since the female urethral opening is wider than the male urethral opening, women need to pay more attention to the hygiene of their lower body in daily life, because women are more likely to have urinary tract infections than men. And after the infection occurs, antibiotics are needed for treatment, and intercourse is not allowed during the treatment period. So how long does it take for a woman to have intercourse after a urinary tract infection?

The treatment period for urinary tract infection is generally 3 days of oral antibiotics. For some severe patients, the treatment period can be extended to 5-7 days. Sexual intercourse is definitely not allowed during the treatment period. After the treatment, a follow-up examination is required. If the results of the urine routine examination are very ideal, the red blood cell and white blood cell indicators are completely normal, and the patient himself has no symptoms, and does not feel frequent or urgent urination, then sexual life can be resumed after the treatment is completed.

What should I pay attention to when I have a urinary tract infection?

1. Timely treatment

Urinary tract infection needs to be treated promptly. Once symptoms of urinary tract infection appear, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Generally speaking, patients can take antibiotics, but the therapeutic effect of antibiotics is relatively long-lasting and it takes a long time to recover.

2. Pay attention to private parts cleaning

Patients must pay attention to cleaning everywhere, wash their private parts every day, change their underwear frequently, and choose loose and breathable underwear, which will have better breathability, not easy to breed bacteria, and easy to improve urinary tract infection. After washing your underwear, put it in the sun to dry, which is also very effective in killing bacteria.

3. Clean the anus after defecation

The distance between the urethra and the anus is relatively close, so if we don’t pay attention, the feces in the anus can easily cause considerable contamination to the urethral opening. Therefore, it is recommended that patients clean their anus after going to the toilet. This is more effective in preventing urinary tract infections and has many benefits for physical health.

4. Avoid unclean sexual intercourse

Many patients who suffer from urinary tract infections are caused by unclean sexual intercourse, because after having sex, female and male friends can easily bring substances such as fungi and bacteria into the urethra and vaginal openings, which can easily cause urinary tract infections.

5. Avoid sitting for long periods of time

Don't sit all the time. Sitting all the time will affect the ventilation of the urethra. Over time, it will easily breed many bacteria and cause urethral infection. You should exercise more often and go out for exercise more often. This can promote blood circulation in the urethra and prevent urinary tract infections. It is also effective in promoting physical and mental health and enhancing immunity.
