Cystitis after intimacy - causes

Many experienced unpleasant symptoms caused by cystitis. For certain reasons, inflammation of the bladder can occur after intimate affinity, and there is an explanation. The cause of cystitis after sex is the closeness of the natural focus of infection to the external opening of the urethra. And microorganisms can enter the urethra from the intestine or vagina.

Predisposing factors

Now let's try to understand why, after sex, cystitis starts, and that it is promoted. The most common cause of the appearance of cystitis after intercourse is damage to the epithelium of the external opening of the urethra. This is especially characteristic after the first sexual contact (defloration cystitis). But if the symptoms constantly recur and antibacterial drugs do not always help, you should consider other reasons why there is cystitis after sex:

1. Anatomic features associated with the anomaly of the location of the entrance to the urethra. This can be, so-called, "vaginalization of the urethra." That is, the entrance to the urethra opens too close to the entrance to the vagina. This creates favorable conditions for the colonization of the urethra by microorganisms.
2. Another anatomical feature of the structure is the wide urethra. And during the sexual certificate or act the input or entrance in a urethra gaping. And pathogenic microorganisms from neighboring areas are easily "pounded" into the urethra, and then pass into the bladder.
3. The cause of "vaginalization" can also be the remains of the hymen. In this place, spikes may occur. And in this case, the cause of cystitis after sex is that the adhesions during sexual intercourse are shifted and "pull" along with the perioretral tissues and the urethra.
4. Another reason that explains why there is cystitis after sex is infection with infections. The causative agent can affect not only the sexual organs, but also colonize the urethra. Later it penetrates into the bladder, causing cystitis.
5. Increased folding of the mucous membrane around the entrance to the urethra. Because of the accumulation of mucus and vaginal discharge, such places are a good source of infection.

Methods of treatment

First of all, the treatment of cystitis with antibiotics is used to eliminate the cause that caused inflammation after intimacy. It is also important to treat concomitant inflammatory diseases of the genital organs.

With "vaginalization of the urethra," surgical treatment. An operation is needed that involves correction of anatomical features. This eliminates relapses.
