Sexology question
Unfortunately, this is a common problem for many women. It is usually related to the fact that bacteria from the vagina are being placed in close proximity to the opening where the urine exits called the urethra . These bacteria begin to aggravate the urethra and bladder leading to spasms and frequent urination. To help avoid this , make sure after intercourse you clean over your urethra with a moist towel or even use a squirt bottle with warm water to clean over that area to minimize bacteria colonization. If it continues , hydrate with water and a quarter cup of tart cranberry juice which may act as a natural antibacterial treatment for the bladder . If symptoms persist , you may need to see a provider for evaluation . READ MORE
