If bladder irritation is acute, sexual intercourse is not recommended as it may lead to an increase in bladder irritation.
If the symptoms of bladder irritation have disappeared after treatment, sexual intercourse is not restricted but care should be taken to ensure that the pubic area is clean.
Both men and women should be thoroughly cleaned before sex, especially if the man is circumcised, the foreskin needs to be opened to clean the coronal sulcus thoroughly, if necessary by scrubbing with soap or a body wash with antibacterial properties and then rinsing with running water, and when sex is over, urination should be promptly performed and the pubic area rinsed.
