Nilima Kamath · Answer

Peeing after intercourse is a must to avoid UTI, because doctor visits and urine culture tests are so expensive nowadays. Don't risk infections, just plan practically and stay clean.

Asmita Chatterjee · Answer

Unless you can pee from your uterus, it's not going to wash the sperm away! Go ahead and use the washroom, avoiding a UTI is way more practical.

Nidhi Sheth · Answer

Arey haan na, many people think peeing washes everything out, but that's not true. Peeing is very important to avoid infection, so definitely do it.

Shilpa Saraf · Answer

I was also very shy to ask this, but I read that peeing doesn't stop you from conceiving because the paths are different. It is better to stay clean and healthy.

Shraddha Venkatesh · Answer

Listen, don't hold your pee because that can cause a bad UTI, which will only delay your plans. Sperm goes inside immediately, so go ahead and use the washroom safely.

Gauri Mane · Answer

I totally understand how every little detail makes you worry when you are trying to conceive, dear. Yes, you can definitely pee as it won't affect your chances, and it actually protects you from infections.
