I’ve never actually had an issue with urination, but the pain was there. Afterward, I dealt with this constant bloating in my abdomen. It took me way too long to realize it was linked to sex, mostly because I deal with stomach issues all the time and bloating just felt like my "normal."
Honestly, I deal with something pretty similar about 80% of the time. I’m hyper-aware of my bladder, especially after sex, and I recently read that I probably fall into that unlucky group that picks up UTIs during intercourse. Basically, I spend a few days regretting having sex at all because it just hurts. It’s one of those silly things they used to call—I can't recall the exact term—something like "honeymoon disease," which apparently happened back in the day when virgins were having sex for the first time in marriage. I don't know the specifics, but I caught the gist, 😲 though if you ask me, it's more like this: I have a sensitive bladder and a chronic infection that never truly clears up, so I’m constantly catching something. We all know how it goes; everything is just wide open down there.
