Sex experts named positions that most often cause urinary tract infections.

According to The Sun: When the memory of hot sex interrupts the arrival of the worst enemy of women - STIs.

UTIs (also known as cystitis) can happen to anyone of any age or gender, but they are known for their tendency to affect women after a night in bed.

Some women suffer from STIs triggered by sex

This occurs temporarily, as the bacteria that live in the genital area can enter the urethra - which has a small opening near the vagina - during sexual activity.

The bacteria enter the bladder and cause an infection, leading to symptoms of pain during urination and a constant feeling of needing to go.

There are several tips for women that can help prevent STIs after sex.

It is recommended to urinate immediately after sexual intercourse to flush out any bacteria that may have lingered.

However, experts believe many women are unaware that their favorite position during sex could be problematic.

Sex expert Ruby Rae said: 'The general rule is that positions with more friction between the bodies increase the risk of STIs.'

“While the action of friction from a partner can be incredibly pleasurable, it's the friction movements that can spread bacteria more easily.

“Sex should be exciting and pleasurable. Even if these positions and activities may increase the risk of STIs, you don't have to stop them unless advised by a doctor'

Worst Positions for STIs

Missionary

The reliable missionary position brings the woman's urethra closer to the man's penis.

This increases the movement of bacteria to the urethra, bladder, or kidneys and thus the risk of infection.

Try putting your legs on your partner's shoulders to help reduce risks.

Woman on top

When a woman sits on a man, it brings the urethra close to the penis.

Here, friction is massive, which helps bacteria spread much easier.

Fingers

'There is a common myth that STIs occur only through penile-vaginal penetration,' Ruby said.

'Fingers can also easily transmit bacteria, especially when you consider how much dirt gets on your hands each day.

'Before taking risks, remember to wash your hands to limit risks.'

Anal sex

'If we talk about the spread of bacteria, we must talk about anal sex

'Anything that has been around the anus should be well-cleaned before it goes near the vulva and vagina.

'To limit the transfer of bacteria, use a new condom. Latex gloves are also great if you're using your hands.'

Best Position to Avoid STIs

Doggy style

Considering the location of the urethra, doggy style is one of the positions least likely to lead to STIs.

Both the penis and the friction are directed away from the urethra.

Warnings about…

Sex toys

Dr. Vallance-Owen said that not only sex with someone else can trigger STIs.

'While STIs can occur after sexual intercourse, it is also possible that they can arise after masturbation or using sex toys, as they can help push bacteria into the urethra,' he said.

'Your risk of STIs from your sex toys is low if they are properly cleaned after each use.

'Avoid porous toys made of PVC, as they can harbor bacteria even after cleaning them.'

'However, keep in mind that excessive cleaning can also cause problems, as aggressive soaps and chemicals can destroy beneficial bacteria in the vagina, disrupting the balance of good and bad bacteria.'

Condoms

Another important issue is to check your condoms.

In some cases, unlubricated and spermicide-laced condoms can increase the risk of STIs.

Research shows that spermicides can shift the balance of bacteria in the vagina and urinary tract.

When something disrupts your vaginal flora and causes an unhealthy ratio of good and bad bacteria, you may be more susceptible to STI diseases.

Symptoms of STIs

• Increased frequency and urgency to urinate
• Burning or discomfort during urination
• Abdominal pain, accompanied by painful and tired feelings
• Waking at night to urinate
• Foul-smelling urine or change of color - the appearance of darker or cloudy liquid, similar to apple juice
• Irritation or discharge in the area
• Fatigue

In this article, the risks of STIs, mistakes in positions during sex, tips for avoiding diseases, and recommendations for caring for sex toys and condoms are discussed. The undeniable comfort and pleasure of sex can be combined with awareness of risks and the potential for avoidance.
