Sexual activity greatly increases the probability of women developing vaginitis and cystitis. A study by the University of California Health Institute in the United States has shown that about 50% of women who have sexual intercourse more than three times a week will develop a urinary tract infection at the beginning. Fortunately, a study has shown that if women change their dietary structure slightly, it can reduce the probability of urinary tract infections that often annoy them. So, what can you eat during sexual activity to avoid urinary tract infections?
Researchers have found that if women drink at least one glass of unsweetened fresh or concentrated fruit juice every day, their chances of developing urinary tract infections are 34% lower than those who rarely drink fruit juice. If you can have a drink immediately after sexual activity, the effect will be even more significant.
Researchers explain that squeezing during sexual intercourse can easily cause damage to the female urethra and introduce bacteria around or in the front of the urethra into the bladder. Bacteria that survive in the vagina can also be carried to the urethral opening during sexual intercourse. If sexual activity is too frequent, it can also reduce bladder resistance and significantly increase the probability of infection with bacteria. And juice drinks with strong acidity can reduce the number of bacteria in the urethra, thus greatly reducing the probability of urinary tract infections.
Research has also found that some particularly sour fruit juices, especially those made from berries, have good therapeutic effects on preventing frequent recurrence of female urinary tract infections.
In addition, drinking yogurt after sexual activity and consuming dairy products containing lactic acid bacteria at least three times a week can also help women avoid urinary tract infections.
