Sexual Intercourse
If you have an active sexual life, then it is important to take extra precautions. Sexual intercourses would allow bacteria to penetrate the vagina and lead to an infection. Since the urethra of women is much shorter than men, they tend to be at higher risks. To prevent this problem, you should urinate immediately right after having sex. This can help flush out all of the bacteria from the system. Also, it is advisable to wash the genital areas with water and mild soap after and before intercourse. Avoid using scented douches and feminine products because they would irritate and worsen the condition. [3]
