You’re not alone, it’s actually quite common to feel a sting when you pee after sex. This can happen because the thrusting motion during sex can cause tiny microtears or friction near the vaginal opening. These small tears can make it sting slightly when you urinate afterward.

As long as the stinging is mild and there’s no burning sensation, fever, foul-smelling discharge, or abdominal pain, it’s usually nothing to worry about. However, if you notice consistent discomfort or unusual symptoms, it might be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI), and you should see a doctor.

Tip: Always try to pee after sex it helps flush out bacteria and reduces the risk of UTIs.
