Most women feel or have felt burning or pain in the genital region at some point. Among the main causes of this discomfort is urinary infection, which is more common among women due to the size of the female urethra, which is smaller than the male's.
The bladder and urethra are very close to the vagina and during sexual penetration friction occurs. At this moment, secretions and bacteria move from the external area to the inner part of the urethra and bladder, which can cause diseases such as urinary infection, candidiasis, cystitis, chlamydia, among others.
According to the article, peeing after sexual relations works as a kind of washing of the urethral canal, eliminating bacteria that may have entered there during intercourse.
The experts also suggest that, if the person has difficulty urinating after sex, they should seek medical guidance to investigate possible problems related to this issue.
