Can patients with urinary tract infection have sex?

Urinary tract infection is a common urinary system disease that causes great harm to health. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to have sex during the treatment period of the disease because of the possibility of cross-infection. It is recommended to have sex after complete recovery.

1. Trichomonas urinary tract infection: Trichomonas is highly contagious and can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. If a woman has a trichomonas urinary tract infection, she can transmit it to her partner during sexual intercourse.

2. Non-gonococcal urinary tract infection: The pathogens are chlamydia and mycoplasma. When women with this type of urinary tract infection have sex, the pathogens hidden in the urethral mucosa will take the opportunity to invade their partners' bodies.

It can be said that urinary tract infection is a health killer for modern women. It not only threatens women's physical health, but also has a serious impact on women's sexual life. The following are the preventive measures that women need to take after sex:

3. Drink more boiled water, eat more liquid food, and urinate regularly, preferably once every 3 hours, which helps clean the urethra.

4. After sex, urinate as soon as possible to flush away bacteria as much as possible to reduce accumulation and prevent the occurrence of gynecological inflammation. Because some antibiotics may affect the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, it is best to consult a doctor when seeking medical advice to see if other contraceptive measures such as condoms are needed.

In addition, female friends are reminded to pay attention to personal hygiene, take a bath frequently (try to avoid bathing with others), change underwear frequently (underwear should be exposed to the sun), and wipe from front to back after defecation to avoid contaminating the urethra. If you have a urinary tract infection, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
