Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Urinary tract infection is the infection of any part of the urinary tract. Sexual activity may be responsible for high infection rate in sexually active women as honeymoon cystitis begins once the women become sexually active. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among health care workers at teaching hospital, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka to obtain the prevalence of honeymoon cystitis among sexually active women and their practices. Results: Of 110 subjects (30.8 ± 5.026 years), 63.6% had experienced urinary tract infection at least once in their lifetime. 18.57% of sexually active women had experienced urinary tract infection after the sexual activity. There is a significant association between presence of urinary tract infection and the type of soap used to clean genital area (p< 0.05). Conclusions: A large number of subjects had experienced urinary tract infection at least once in their lifetime. Furthermore, 18.57% of sexually active women had experienced urinary tract infection after the sexual activity. Further studies should be continued over the large sample size.
