Honeymoon cystitis pathology
- Because the female urethra has wide, straight and short physiological characteristics, and is close to the vagina and anus, it is susceptible to bacterial infection. However, when a woman is in virginity, the labia majora closes naturally, and the labia minora is also tightly packed, which makes the urethral opening difficult to expose, which acts as a protective barrier and reduces the chance of bacterial infection. Sexual life at the time of wedding, the natural barriers of the labia majora and labia minora are damaged, and the urethra is stimulated by friction and other factors. In addition, the lack of hygiene knowledge on sex life makes it easy for bacteria to enter and cause cystitis. If the inflammation is not controlled and spreads upward along the ureter, it can cause acute pyelonephritis.
Honeymoon cystitis prevention
- To ensure a happy wedding honeymoon and prevent honeymoon cystitis, the most important measure is to pay attention to hygiene. Before sexual intercourse, both spouses should clean the external genitals, especially the man should clean the dirt in the coronary sulcus with soap to reduce the chance of carrying bacteria during sexual intercourse. After sexual intercourse, the woman should urinate once, empty her bladder as much as possible, and flush out the bacteria in the urethra. The frequency of sexual intercourse should not be too frequent.
- Once the symptoms of urinary tract infection occur during the wedding, drink plenty of water and stop sexual life. Those with mild bladder inflammation can often heal themselves.

If the condition is serious, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible without being shy and prolonged, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
