&lt;h1 class=&quot;css-0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to know about peeing after sex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;css-dmtxcr&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;People may have heard that peeing after sex is beneficial, especially for women. This is because peeing flushes bacteria out of the body, which may help prevent a urinary tract from developing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Here, we look at how peeing after sex may help to prevent&amp;nbsp;urinary tract infections. We also discuss whether there are any other benefits to peeing after sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;css-0&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benefits of peeing after sex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Sexual intercourse is a risk factor&amp;nbsp;for urinary tract infections (UTIs).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;During sex, bacteria can pass from the genitals to the urethra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The urethra is the tube that connects the bladder to the urethral opening where urine comes out. Bacteria can then make their way from the urethra to the bladder, resulting in a UTI.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Peeing after sex helps to flush bacteria out of the urethra, helping to prevent UTIs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;css-0&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can it help prevent UTIs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Females are up to&amp;nbsp;30 times more likely&amp;nbsp;to get a UTI than males. This is due to two reasons: Firstly, the female urethra is close to the vagina and anus. This means that bacteria can quickly spread from these areas to the urethra. Secondly, the urethra is shorter in females than it is in males. This means bacteria entering the urethra can reach the bladder more easily.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In women, peeing after sex can help to flush any bacteria away from the urethra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;For males, peeing after sex is less important. This is because males have a longer urethra. As a result, bacteria from the genital area are less likely to reach the bladder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Although there is no solid evidence to confirm that peeing after sex can prevent UTIs, there is no harm in following this practice. It may help reduce the risk of UTIs, especially in women and people more prone to UTIs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;css-0&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does it prevent pregnancy?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Peeing after sex will not prevent pregnancy. The urethra and vagina are separate parts of the female&amp;nbsp;anatomy. As a result, peeing will not affect any sperm that enter the vagina. Using some form of&amp;nbsp;birth control&amp;nbsp;is the only way to prevent pregnancy during sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;onequarter-of-article&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;css-0&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does it prevent STIs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Peeing after sex does not prevent&amp;nbsp;sexually transmitted infections&amp;nbsp;(STIs). People contract STIs by absorbing bacteria through the mucous membranes inside their bodies during sexual intercourse. Peeing after sex will not prevent these bacteria from entering the body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Using a condom or other barrier contraceptives during sex can help reduce the risk of STIs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why does it burn when I pee after sex?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Some people notice a burning feeling when they urinate after sex. That sensation doesn&amp;rsquo;t always mean you have a UTI. You may have irritation on the outside of your body or in your vagina.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you experience irritation after sex, avoid the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Condoms with spermicides. (Use latex condoms without spermicide instead.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Warming, tingling or scented&amp;nbsp;lubricants. (As an alternative, try water-based, fragrance-free lubricants for sensitive skin.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;css-0&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How soon after sex should you pee?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;There is no recommended time to pee after having sex, although some anecdotal sources suggest peeing within 30 minutes after sex. In general, the sooner people pee after sex, the sooner they can flush out bacteria before it travels up the urethra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If people are struggling to pee after sex, drinking a glass or two of water may help. A larger amount of urine will also be more effective in flushing out bacteria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other ways to prevent UTIs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The following tips may also help to reduce a person&amp;rsquo;s risk of getting a UTI:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;drinking&amp;nbsp;8-10 glasses&lt;span class=&quot;css-xi2i42 icon-hl-trusted-source-after&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;sro&quot;&gt;Trusted Source&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of water each day to ensure regular flushing of bacteria out of the urethra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;peeing whenever the urge arises, rather than holding in urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;avoiding going more than&amp;nbsp;3 or 4 hours&lt;span class=&quot;css-xi2i42 icon-hl-trusted-source-after&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;sro&quot;&gt;Trusted Source&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;without urinating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;always wiping from front to back after going to the toilet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;cleaning the genitals with warm water each day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;avoiding using scented female hygiene products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;avoiding&amp;nbsp;douching&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;avoiding using spermicides if prone to UTIs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;wearing loose cotton underwear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;avoiding tight clothing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;avoiding staying in wet bathing or workout clothes that can trap moisture and harbor bacteria around the genitals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;limiting baths to&amp;nbsp;30 minutes&lt;span class=&quot;css-xi2i42 icon-hl-trusted-source-after&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;sro&quot;&gt;Trusted Source&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;or less, or taking showers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;drinking&amp;nbsp;cranberry juice&amp;nbsp;or taking cranberry extracts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;css-0&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When to see a doctor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;People should see a doctor if they experience the following symptoms of a UTI:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;painful or burning sensation when urinating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;feeling the need to urinate often, despite passing only a small amount of urine each time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;cloudy urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;foul-smelling urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;blood in the urine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;pressure or pain in the lower abdomen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;feeling tired, weak, or shaky&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;confusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If people have a UTI, a doctor will likely prescribe&amp;nbsp;antibiotics&amp;nbsp;to clear the infection. People will usually start feeling better within a few days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In some cases, a UTI can make its way up to the kidneys. A&amp;nbsp;kidney infection&amp;nbsp;can be severe and requires immediate medical treatment. Symptoms of a kidney infection include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;a fever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;chills&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;nausea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;vomiting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;pain in the lower back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;People should also see their doctor if they notice any unusual or painful symptoms during or after sex. These could be symptoms of an STI.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;css-0&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary about peeing after sex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Peeing after sex may help to flush bacteria out of the urethra, thereby helping to prevent a urinary tract infection (UTI). It may be especially helpful for women, or people who are prone to UTIs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;However, peeing after sex will not prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;People should see a doctor if they experience symptoms of a UTI or STI. Some people may require treatment with antibiotics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
