3.The first time you got a UTI, you might not have known what it was, but you never forgot it.
Urinary tract infections suck, but they’re super common. They’re caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract through the urethra, which can sometimes happen during sex. And unfortunately, some people are just particularly susceptible to UTIs.
4.Now you always try to take care so it never happens again.
Yep, peeing after sex can help prevent UTIs. So can drinking lots of water, wiping from front to back, and avoiding feminine wipes or douches, which can irritate the urethra.
5.When you first experienced “spotting,” you could not have been more confused.
Is it your period? Is it pregnancy? Is it the fact that you didn’t use enough lube? Random vaginal bleeding is so confusing because it can be a sign of so many things. It’s most likely nothing serious, but if it continues or it comes with any other symptoms, check in with your doctor or gynecologist just to be sure.
