Can a man urinate during intercourse?

 

No, a man cannot urinate inside a woman's vagina, due to the physical structure of the man that prevents the flow of urine during sexual intercourse, unlike women who may face this problem.

Why should we urinate before and after sexual intercourse?

 

Since sexual activity may increase the risk of urinary tract infections, doctors advise urinating before and after sexual intercourse. This helps flush out bacteria that may enter the urethra during intercourse, although this method may not always be guaranteed to prevent infection.

When should you urinate after sexual intercourse?

 

It is recommended to urinate within 30 minutes after sexual intercourse to increase the chances of preventing urinary tract infections.

Should women and men urinate before and after sexual intercourse?

 

For women, the answer is yes, as it is necessary because they are more susceptible to urinary tract infections than men, for the following reasons:

- Women have a shorter urethra, which makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder.

- The external opening through which urine comes out during urination is thinner and more porous in females.

- The urethra is located closer to the vagina, which allows bacteria in the vagina to easily reach the urethra.

As for men, urinating after intercourse may not be as important as it is for women, but taking this step as a preventative measure can also be beneficial.

**Is it urine or orgasmic fluids and secretions?**

 

Some people feel a flow of urine, while others feel a flow of fluids and secretions that occur when they reach orgasm. Women can distinguish between them based on the sensation and smell resulting from secretions from small glands in the vagina.

**Why do men not urinate during intercourse?**

 

The opening of the bladder in men is naturally closed by a sphincter muscle, which prevents the flow of urine during intercourse, especially when the penis is erect. However, some men may suffer from damage to this muscle, as occurs in cases of cancer that require removal of the prostate gland.

Can urinating before and after intercourse affect the chances of pregnancy?

 

Some people believe that a woman urinating immediately after intercourse may lead to the exit of sperm with the urine, but this is a misconception, as the urethral opening is different from the entrance through which sperm enters the cervix.

This condition can be painful and negatively impact the physical and emotional health of both individuals and their partners.

**What are the causes of feeling urinated during intercourse in men?**

 

**Weak bladder and pelvic floor muscles** When the muscles at the end of the bladder are weak, they may not be able to close tightly during intercourse, which leads to urine leaking and passing through the urethra easily. This is considered one of the most prominent causes of feeling urinated during intercourse in men. Weak pelvic floor muscles can also lead to difficulty controlling urine, which increases the likelihood of leakage during ejaculation or erection.

**Prostate gland problems** God Almighty created the prostate gland in the body of men only, as it is located behind the bladder and surrounds the urethra. The function of the prostate is to produce certain amounts of the fluid that nourishes sperm known as "semen", in addition to secreting some hormones that regulate the rate of urine flow. This gland may be exposed to some diseases that affect its efficiency in performing its basic functions. For example, the prostate may enlarge in size, causing pressure on the urinary bladder and urethra (urethra). The gland can also be affected by congestion or various types of cancer. Prostate diseases are common causes of feeling the need to urinate during sexual intercourse, so it is recommended to treat these diseases to get rid of the urgent feeling of urination.

**Small bladder** Some men suffer from having a bladder that is smaller than normal, such asCongenital defect since birth. This causes the bladder to fill with a small amount of urine quickly, which is one of the most prominent causes of feeling the need to urinate during erection. The small size of the bladder also contributes to the frequent desire to urinate, especially during sexual intercourse, as sexual stimuli and some physiological processes that occur during sexual intercourse, such as erection and ejaculation, put pressure on the bladder and urethra, making the small bladder unable to withstand this pressure.

**Previous urinary tract surgeries** A man may suffer from an urgent desire to urinate during erection or ejaculation as a side effect of previous urinary tract surgeries. Some of these surgeries may lead to weakness in the bladder wall, so it is important to emphasize the need to choose a specialized and experienced doctor before undergoing any surgery on the urinary system organs, which helps avoid any complications after surgery.
