Newly married women frequently suffer from cystitis during sexual intercourse

　　Newlywed women frequently suffer from cystitis during sex during honeymoon period  
 
Ms. Qin had just held her wedding with her boyfriend of many years a month ago. In the past week, she had been experiencing pain when urinating, which made her afraid to drink more water. However, she still wanted to urinate and was embarrassed to say so, so she ran to the toilet time and time again in pain. After her attentive colleagues found out, they persuaded her to go to Hospital After seeing a doctor, the doctor diagnosed Ms. Qin as suffering from "honeymoon cystitis."

　　Treating 10 cases of urinary tract infection every day

　　Experts remind that as the temperature rises, the human body sweats more and drinks less water. This, coupled with bacterial invasion outside the body, has led to a significant increase in patients with urinary tract infections in the near future. A certain hospital has been treating nearly 10 patients with urinary tract infections every day in the past two weeks. Many patients think the disease is "unspeakable" and refuse to seek medical treatment, which delays their condition.

　　Xing Changying, director of the Nephrology Department of the Provincial People’s Hospital, introduced that newlyweds female The common "honeymoon cystitis" is manifested by the bride experiencing strange sensations when urinating after her honeymoon, including burning in the urethra, frequent urination, difficulty urinating, painful urination, soreness in the lower abdomen and other discomforts. It is caused by Escherichia coli infection and is more common in newly married women, accompanied by hematuria or turbid urine. This was the case for Ms. Li. Just after her wedding leave, she was supposed to go to work but had to recuperate at home due to cystitis.

　　Cystitis is prone to occur during the honeymoon period

　　Director Xing Changying told reporters that compared with male , the female urethra has the physiological characteristics of being wide, straight, and short, and the urethral opening is located close to the vagina and anus, making it very susceptible to bacterial infection. However, for unmarried women, because the labia majora naturally closes and the labia minora are wrapped tightly, the urethral opening is not easily exposed, forming a protective barrier that can reduce the chance of bacterial infection. When newly married, sexual life destroys the natural barrier between the labia majora and minora, causing E. coli bacteria that originally existed in the vagina to enter the urethra due to sexual intercourse and cause E. coli infection.

　　To prevent "honeymoon cystitis", the most important thing is to pay attention to hygiene. First of all, before intercourse, both parties should clean the vulva, especially the man should wash away the dirt in the foreskin groove with soap; secondly, after intercourse, the woman should urinate immediately to flush out the bacteria brought into the urethra. It is best to clean the vulva again. In addition, sexual intercourse should not be too frequent during the honeymoon, avoid holding back urine, bathe frequently, change underwear frequently, and wipe from front to back after defecation, so as to "keep out" germs.
