Drink plenty of water, avoid compulsively washing the genital area to avoid irritating it and favoring the appearance of urinary tract infection. Make sure you are well lubricated during penetration during sexual intercourse, empty your bladder completely at the end of intercourse, avoid spending too much time with a wet genital area at beaches or swimming pools, avoid using diaphragms or condoms without lubricant or with spermicide as contraceptive methods.
