It is not only important how the sexual act proceeds, but also what follows after it.

There are many stories that you think are completely true, but the experts don't say so and they have to be trusted…

You know what you should do before and after sex, so that's what you should do, Telegrafi reports.

Go to the toilet

You've probably heard that going to the toilet, namely urinating immediately after sex, reduces the risk of infections, because in that way Escherichia coli is "washed away", a bacterium which during sex can reach the urinary tract.

However, you should not force yourself to urinate quickly - it is better after intercourse, says gynecologist dr.

Lauren Steiner.

So, wait until the moment when you have the need to urinate - it doesn't matter if it happens 20 minutes or an hour after sex, this way you won't increase the risk of infections, advises dr.

Steiner.

"Analyze" the relationship in your head

After sex, think about what exactly happened, "analyze" the whole relationship in your head.

If the sex was good, think about what was especially good, then tell your partner which touches, poses you were most satisfied with, while everything is still "fresh".

"Then it's better to talk about it, because later maybe it will become uncomfortable", says prof.

dr.

Kristen Carpenter.

If it wasn't the best sex you've had in your life, it's best to tell your partner what you didn't like, but not immediately after sex.

Be aware of uncomfortable situations.

Pain during and after sex

In women, symptoms of dyspareunia include pain in the vagina during sexual activity, at the entrance of the vagina or deeper inside it.

Some experience vaginismus, the contraction of the vaginal muscles during penetration.

Women with vaginismus have pain not only during sex, but also during gynecological examinations.

Although dyspaerunia is often caused by easily treatable conditions, it can sometimes be a symptom of a more serious problem.

If you experience worsening pain during or after sexual intercourse, bleeding or secretions, you should immediately go to a specialist doctor.
