Sex is a natural reaction, and a harmonious sex life is very important to both men and women. However, you should not overindulge yourself after sex. There are many things you need to pay attention to, such as not urinating immediately, washing private parts and drinking water after sex, etc. So why can’t men urinate immediately after sex?

Why can’t men urinate immediately after sex?

The male urethra is long and curved, causing great resistance and prolonging the passage of urine. After sex, the congestion in the corpus cavernosum of the penis has not completely subsided, and the contraction of the detrusor and urethral sphincter has not returned to normal. At this time, the urethral resistance is high. If you are eager to urinate, it may easily cause urinary weakness or waiting for urine. In addition, rushing to urinate after sex will increase the pressure in the urethra, causing urine containing metabolic waste and bacteria to flow back into the prostate, which over time can lead to prostatitis. Men need to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after sex, and then urinate when the penis is completely soft. If a man has frequent urination, painful urination or urgency every time he has sex, he needs to be alert to a urinary system infection.

What should men pay attention to after sex?

1. Rest for 20 minutes after sex before taking a shower

During sexual intercourse, the heart rate accelerates, the heart blood vessels dilate, most of the blood flows to the sexual organs and muscles, the pores of the whole body are opened, a large amount of sweating occurs, and the body's defense ability is weakened. If you take a cold shower immediately after sex, it will cause the myocardial blood vessels to contract violently, which can easily cause heart disease. Try to rest for 20 minutes after sex, and then take a bath with warm water after your heartbeat and body temperature return to normal.

2. Drink a glass of warm water after sex

During sexual intercourse, male sexual organs are always in a state of high congestion and excitement. From the onset of sexual excitement to orgasm, all tissues and organs of the body are involved in this physiological process. The body's energy consumption increases, and the metabolism of tissues and organs is abnormally strong, which will consume Lots of moisture. Therefore, you need to drink a cup of warm water after sex to replenish body moisture to avoid feeling tired. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, lack of water in the body at night will increase blood viscosity and easily cause various diseases. Many men feel thirsty and hot after sex, and drink cold drinks for the sake of pleasure, but this will cause varying degrees of damage to blood pressure and gastrointestinal tract. During sex, blood circulation throughout the body accelerates and blood vessels dilate. The main manifestations are increased blood pressure, accelerated heart rate, increased gastrointestinal peristalsis, open pores and excessive sweating. Drinking cold drinks immediately after sex will cause the blood vessels throughout the body to constrict. Especially before the gastrointestinal vascular congestion has recovered, sudden cold stimulation will cause gastrointestinal discomfort or stomach cramps.
