Frequent sexual intercourse during honeymoon can lead to cystitis

Ms. Lee who was married with her boyfriend one month ago always has pain when urinating recently. Because of the painful urination, so she is afraid of drinking water, except that, she also wants to urinate even she is urinating one minute ago. Although the above symptoms make her unbearable and annoying, she is too shy to ask friends and seek help from doctors, so she bears it silently. But some of her careful workmates find out Ms. Lee’s secret - frequent urinating, they ask Ms. Lee to go to hospitals to do some examinations and the consequence is honeymoon cystitis.

“The hot weather which makes people sweating a lot and the lack of water are the main reasons to make people easy to infect cystitis on summer days.” Dr. Lee who is from Wuhan Dr. Lee’ TCM clinic told us: “on the other hand, because many people think it is a hard to tell disease, so most of the time, they love to cure it by themselves or ignore it, thus, it is easy for them to miss the best treating time and make it more severe.”

Dr. Lee told us that: “the symptoms of honeymoon cysttis which is more common for bride are uncomfortable feelings when urinating. Those brides can experience those symptoms such as sharp pain on urinary track, frequent and urgent urination, difficulty and painful urinating and pain on lower abdomen which are caused by Escherichia coli infection. For some brides, they can have blood and cloudy urine.

Why woman is easier to have honeymoon than man? As is known to all, woman’s urinary track characterized by short, straight and wide, and the location of urethral orifice is closer to vagina and anus, so it is easy for woman to infect bacteria than man. Although woman is easy to infect cystitis, why married woman is easier than unmarried woman? As we know, the labia majora and labia minora of Unmarried woman are closed to prevent the bacteria to invade bladder and the labia minora which is closeness to make the urethral orifice hard to get infection by bacteria. But for married woman, the sexual intercourse damaged the protection of labia majora and labia minora to make Escherichiacoli which is in the vagina easier to transmit to urinary track via sexual intercourse.

The prevention of honeymoon cystitis:

Firstly, clean vulva before having sexual intercourse. both man and woman have to clean vulva, especially man who don’t like to wash their penis every day has to use soap to wash the bacteria on the foreskin away.

Secondly, urinate after sexual intercourse. woman has to urinate immediately which can bring the bacteria in urinary track out and wash the vulva again.

Thirdly, reduce the times of sexual intercourse during honeymoon.

Fourthly, they have to change underwear and take bath frequently and avoid full bladder.

At last, they have to clean the anus and vagina from the vagina to anus after urinating and bowel movement.
