Why does intimacy cause cystitis?

Many female friends develop cystitis after intimate life, so why does intimate life cause cystitis? We know that cystitis will bring a lot of inconvenience to patients, but why does cystitis appear after intimate life? What aspects of our intimate life are not done well that will lead to the occurrence of cystitis? Let's take a look at the introduction below.

Cystitis and intimate life are indeed of great concern, so we must pay attention when engaging in intimate life. If we accidentally injure the vagina and cause bacterial infection, cystitis is indeed likely to occur.

Many people regard cystitis as a sexually transmitted disease, but this is not the case. Although many patients with cystitis suffer from it because of intimate life, most of them are due to improper intimate life. Some people do not pay attention to personal hygiene and are prone to cystitis. More importantly, this disease takes a long time to treat and is very prone to relapse, so many people are troubled by it. Today I will sort out some relevant knowledge for you.

The main cause of cystitis is lack of personal hygiene. So what is the relationship between intimate life and cystitis? Why are people more likely to suffer from this disease during their honeymoon? This is because the vagina of newly married women is easily damaged during their first intimate life, so a lot of bacteria will be produced, making it easy to suffer from cystitis.

Moreover, intimate activities are too frequent during the honeymoon. Some people make love almost every night during the seven-day trip. On the one hand, because this period is too romantic, people may not consider the time and place during intimate life, nor the necessity of bathing before and after intimate life. On the other hand, the fatigue of the journey and the frequent intimate life will make the body tired and the resistance will be reduced. These two factors are also the common causes of cystitis during the honeymoon period.

For men, they should pay more attention to personal hygiene. For the sake of their wives, they should first control the frequency of intercourse. Secondly, they should pay attention to the diet of both parties and eat more light food. Drinking a glass of juice in time after intimate life can also help prevent cystitis.

Can intimate life also cause cystitis? About 50% of women have suffered from bladder ulcer at least once, and 20% of women have multiple ulcers. Many women suffer from cystitis 1 to 2 times a year, which is very common, and the risk period of suppuration is mostly during the honeymoon.

Intimate life and cystitis

Bladder decay is caused by E. coli. These E. coli, which are harmless in the vagina, often enter the urethra due to carelessness after intimate life and cause ulcerous E. coli. This has become a major concern for newlyweds. When it comes to the relationship between sex and cystitis, I believe everyone immediately thinks of honeymoon cystitis, but it is not that simple!

Recently, doctors from the University of Washington and Madison Hospital in the United States found the triggering factors of sex and cystitis during a large series of prospective studies.

The study found that on average each person suffers from acute cystitis about 0.7 times a year. Among the unmarried college girls, those who had no sexual intercourse in the week before the study had a relative risk of cystitis of one, while those who had sexual intercourse seven times in the week before the study had a relative risk of cystitis that jumped to nine (the average expected value of sexual intercourse for this group of women was 6.7 times a month).

Symptoms of cystitis

(I) Acute cystitis

Acute cystitis develops suddenly, often after excessive fatigue, cold, prolonged urination, or intimate intercourse. The course of the disease usually lasts 1 to 2 weeks and disappears on its own or after treatment. Its characteristics are "acute" onset, "severe" inflammatory response, and "shallow" lesion site. Common symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, pain, pyuria, terminal hematuria, and even gross hematuria throughout the entire process. In severe cases, the bladder spasms due to inflammatory stimulation, making it impossible for the bladder to store urine, resulting in frequent urination that cannot be counted, and a phenomenon similar to urinary incontinence. Because the site of acute inflammatory lesions is "shallow", the absorption capacity of the bladder mucosa is very weak, and frequent urination allows pyuria to be discharged in time, so the systemic symptoms of simple acute cystitis are mild and usually without fever.

(ii) Chronic cystitis

Drink a glass of juice immediately after sex

The symptoms of chronic cystitis are similar to those of acute cystitis, but are milder. It is characterized by a "slow" onset, a "mild" inflammatory response, and a "deep" lesion site.

What are the ways to reduce and prevent cystitis after sexual intercourse?

Doctors used to recommend urinating after sexual intercourse, but according to the above research, this does not reduce or prevent cystitis.

Avoid using a diaphragm plus spermicide cream as a contraceptive method.

Drink at least three hundred cc of imported Granberry juice after sexual intercourse. This juice contains a magical substance that can reduce the adhesion of bacteria to the urinary tract epithelial tissue. Prophylactic antibiotics were then administered. Spouses do not need to think of cystitis after sexual intercourse as a sexually transmitted disease, nor do they need to feel guilty and fearful about it, or even lose interest in sex.

No matter which type of cystitis you have, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Intimate life is more harmful to women than men. Expert research shows that half of women who have intimate life more than three times a week will suffer from cystitis. So is there any way to prevent this? Experts immediately conducted research. Studies have shown that this chance can be reduced if both parties change their eating habits.

The researchers found that women who drank at least one glass of unsweetened fresh juice or juice from concentrate a day were 34 percent less likely to have a urinary tract infection than those who rarely drank juice. If you drink a glass of wine immediately after sex, the effect will be more significant.

The researchers explained that squeezing during sexual intercourse can easily injure the female urethra and bring bacteria around the urethra or at the front of the urethra into the bladder. Bacteria living in the vagina can also be brought to the urethra through sexual intercourse. If you have sex too frequently, the bladder's resistance will decrease and the chance of bacterial infection will increase significantly. Strongly acidic fruit juice drinks can reduce the number of bacteria in the urethra, thus greatly reducing the chance of urinary tract infection.

The study also found that some particularly sour juices, especially those made from berries, are very effective in preventing frequent recurrences of urinary tract infections in women.

In addition, drinking yogurt after sexual intercourse and consuming dairy products containing lactic acid bacteria at least 3 times a week can also help women avoid urinary tract infections.

In the above article, we introduced that many female friends will develop cystitis after having intimate life. In fact, cystitis is indeed closely related to intimate life, so we must pay attention to it. Because female friends are prone to hurting the vagina during intimate life, if they do not pay attention to personal hygiene, it is easy to cause bacteria and cause cystitis.
