In addition to urinating, both men and women should make it a habit to wash the genitals before and immediately after sex.

One of the dangers of having unprotected sex is the risk of getting a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Though UTIs don’t always manifest with recognizable symptoms, when they do, they may include a strong, persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation when urinating, cloudy urine, red, blood in the urine, strong-smelling urine, pelvic pain in women and rectal pain in men.

It is a fact that 75%  of UTIs are triggered by sex.

The simplest and best protection you can have against it, especially for women, is urinating immediately after sexual intercourse because because it helps prevent bacteria from moving into the urethra and also push the bacteria out of the male urinary tract

In addition to urinating, both men and women should make it a habit to wash the genitals before and immediately after sex.

It may seem to be a lot of effort, but it is worth it is a very common health issue that may still occur despite your ‘impeccable’ personal hygiene.

You must however note that taking a shower or urinating after sex will not stop a woman from getting pregnant if sperm has already entered her uterus.

If you feel a burning sensation while peeing or you pee too many times, then Wha’anda suggests you knock on a doctor’s door right away.
