What to do if you have difficulty urinating after sex

Difficulty urinating after sexual intercourse is often accompanied by varying degrees of urinary retention. The cause of the disease is mostly due to excessive emotional tension, mental over-excitement, and spasm of the urethral sphincter and detrusor muscle, and is not pathological.

The following prevention and control methods can be adopted:

1) When engaging in normal sexual intercourse, avoid excessive excitement or tension; it is best to urinate once before and once after sexual intercourse, and develop a habit of urinating. This can prevent urinary tract infections that may occur during sexual intercourse and maintain the function of the sphincter and detrusor muscles. If you hope to get pregnant, you should not get up to urinate immediately after sex to avoid premature leakage of semen.

2) Once symptoms of difficulty urinating occur, the doctor should relieve the patient's concerns and give appropriate sedatives or estrogen. If the symptoms do not improve, a doctor may perform urethral dilation if necessary.

3) Avoid having sex during the woman’s menstrual period. Because if you have sex at this time, menstrual blood may seep into the man's urethra. If you urinate after sex, it can be flushed out. Otherwise, although there will be no abnormal feeling at the time, you will be unable to urinate the next day because the menstrual blood has coagulated and blocked the urethra. At this time, you can only seek medical treatment.
