[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips) This is how men should urinate to avoid making their partner sick.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=3) Many vaginal infections are directly linked to poor male genital hygiene, and almost no one knows this.

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=10) Send this to your partner so you can take care of each other.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=12) Number one. After urinating, dry the glans completely with paper.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=17) Residual moisture creates the perfect environment for bacteria, candida, and balanitis.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=22) If you have a foreskin, retract it, dry underneath, and return it to position. Number two.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=27) Lower the toilet lid before flushing. Flushing with the lid open generates an aerosol cloud of fecal and urinary microparticles that lands on your toothbrush, towels, and every surface nearby.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=37) Lid down, then flush. Number three. Urinate sitting down.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=41) Standing creates invisible microdroplets that contaminate the seat, the floor, and everything around it.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=46) Those droplets reach your partner's skin every single day.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=49) Sitting reduces urinary splatter by over ninety-five percent.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=53) Number four. Wash your hands before urinating, not just after.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=57) Your hands carry thousands of bacteria from phones, doorknobs, and surfaces that transfer directly to your urethra the moment you touch yourself.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=64) Twenty seconds with soap before and after.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=67) Number five. Wash the glans before sex. The surface of the penis can carry Gardnerella, Candida, and Group B Streptococcus.

[1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=74) That directly disrupt your partner's vaginal microbiome and trigger recurring infections.

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=78) A quick wash before intercourse significantly reduces that transfer. Number six.

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=83) Wear clean, dry underwear daily. Moisture and heat breed dermatophytes and candida.

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=89) Change daily and choose breathable fabrics.

[1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=91) Number seven. Never share wet towels. A damp shared towel is a direct vector for fungal and bacterial transmission between people in the same household.

[1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/VZf4BEou77S6/en/men-s-urination-and-genital-hygiene-tips?t=100) Everyone gets their own.
