After s*x, your body is more vulnerable to infections—especially urinary and va**nal infections. Here’s what to do right away:
• Urinate (p*e)
Helps flush out bacteria from the urinary tract and reduces the risk of UTIs
• Gently wash the external area
Use clean water and avoid putting soap inside the va**na (it is self-cleaning)
• Wipe front to back (for women)
Prevents bacteria from spreading to the va**na or urethra
• Stay hydrated
Drinking water helps your body flush out bacteria
• Change out of wet or dirty underwear
Keeps the area dry and reduces bacterial growth
• Avoid douching
It disrupts natural va**nal balance and can increase infection risk

If protection wasn’t used, consider testing for infections like Sexually transmitted infections if there’s any risk.
