The delicate balance of the vaginal flora is of great importance for a healthy bladder. Excessive intimate hygiene with aggressive cleansers can destroy it. Cold reduces the blood flow to the mucous membranes, thus reducing their defense functions. During sexual intercourse, the urethral mucosa of the woman is subjected to considerable stress – on the one hand purely mechanically, on the other hand by the foreign bacterial flora of the sexual partner. Hormones also play a role; during menopause the composition of the intimate flora changes, the pH value increases, and the mucous membrane becomes thinner.
We can help our bladder by drinking a lot. Regular urination ensures good flushing; unwanted germs are washed out before they can do any harm.
