Being well-lubricated can help prevent skin irritation and pesky UTIs.
, MD, ob-gyn, FACOG, director of the female sexual medicine program at Stanford Health Care told POPSUGAR.She recommended lubricant to avoid trauma to the vulvar area of the vagina which includes: the vestibule , the labia majoria , the labia minora , and the clitoris."We just find anecdotally, and there's really no good research on this, that if they tend to be drier during sex, and they're having more friction during sex, you tend to see them get UTIs," Dr.
If you are prone to UTIs, Dr. Milheiser said,"Take a shower and wash the genital and anal region with soap and water to clean away as much bacteria as you can before sexual activity." Dr. Millheiser also recommendedIf you're still getting UTIs, regardless of how good your hygiene is, Dr.
Lubricant may help prevent UTIs but you've got to ensure you're using the right kind of lube."First and foremost, avoid at all costs any of the petroleum-based oils or mineral-based oils," Dr. Millheiser said. For example, baby oil, Crisco, and Vaseline."Do not use those. Those can cause vaginal inflammation," she warned.
If you're looking for something natural, Dr. Millheiser recommended coconut oil,"but only if you are not using latex items for safe sex." This is because coconut oil can break down latex and make it less efficient, she explained. If you're having unprotected sex, Dr. Millheiser said coconut oil, avocado oil, and olive oil are all good options. When it comes to selecting a natural lubricant, Dr. Millheiser said to simply pick the one that smells the best to you.
If you're following best practices like washing your vagina before and after sex, urinating before and after sex, and using lubricant but are still getting UTIs, consult your medical provider."It's important to find a provider that you're comfortable with so that you can share your history without feeling judged, or without feeling like you can't tell them exactly what happened," Dr. Khalil said.
