1. Cystitis is an infection of the bladder. This is caused by bacteria that enter the bladder through the urethra.

Good intimate hygiene is important, but don’t just use a regular soap or shower gel. When choosing the right wash, it is best to choose an intimate wash.

2. How to wash “down there”:

Washing the intimate area, women: Always wash from front to back so that intestinal bacteria cannot get into the genital area.

Washing the intimate area, men: As a man, always remember to wash under the foreskin every day.

It is often your own intestinal bacteria that cause bladder infections – so it is a good idea to wash yourself with a cleansing intimate soap. We recommend the Intimate Wash from Australian Bodycare.

3. Take care of your mucous membranes, avoid cracks and irritation.

After menopause, the mucous membranes can become drier and the risk of cracks and irritation associated with sexual intercourse increases.

Here we recommend Australian Bodycare’s Femi Daily for both sex and everyday use if you have problems with dry mucous membranes.

4. You should always wash yourself before and after sex and change your underwear every day.

5. After sexual intercourse, you should always go to the toilet.

6. If you feel that your bladder is inflamed, drink plenty of water (at least 2 liters a day) until the symptoms go away.

7. Go to the toilet when the urge arises and try to urinate at least every 3rd or 4th hour. Take your time, when urinating. Remember to relax the pelvic floor muscles.
