If you feel stinging when urinating after sex, be careful of urinary tract infection!

Sexual life is one of the ways to maintain a stable relationship between couples. If there is no sexual life, the couple is basically dead in name only. Some men said that after sexual life, they always feel a stinging sensation when urinating. So, what is the reason for this situation?

Painful urination after sex may be a urinary tract infection

Painful urination is usually a symptom of urinary tract infection. Sometimes it is accompanied by frequent urination, urgent urination, and hematuria. Most of the time, it is caused by habitual long-term urine retention, unclean sex life, and spicy food.

Causes of urinary tract infection in men

1. High temperature and moist skin

In the hot summer, the temperature is so high that you will sweat profusely as soon as you do a little activity. In order to cope with the large amount of water lost from the sweat glands, the kidneys must concentrate urine to conserve water, so the urine becomes thicker and the urine volume decreases. In addition, the hot and humid skin also makes it easy for bacteria to grow on the skin, which can easily cause urinary tract diseases and is a seasonal cause of urinary tract infections.

2. Improper selection of treatment drugs

Gonorrhea is resistant to drugs; reinfection, sexual partners are not treated; patients do not take medications as prescribed by doctors, drinking alcohol and spicy food can affect the efficacy of treatment; only drugs against one pathogen are given, and mixed infections are ignored, for example, combined infection with Chlamydia trachomatis or mycoplasma is not treated. These are common problems that cause urinary tract infections to be difficult to cure.

3. Urinary tract infection caused by Trichomonas

Certain bacterial infections can cause nonspecific urethritis; it can cause prostatitis due to decreased local resistance; inflammatory damage to the urethral mucosa, such as edema and hyperplasia that has not yet recovered, or local nerves that are stretched, can cause symptoms of urinary tract infection.
