When are women most likely to get urethritis?_147 China Women's Network

I. A female patient developed problems after sitting for 8 hours on a long-distance bus during her menstrual period.　　Miss Li has always been in good health, but she had to visit the gynecologist last week. Miss Li's symptoms were: a burning sensation in the vagina, accompanied by swelling and pain of the vulva, frequent urge to urinate but with difficulty in doing so, passing only small amounts of urine each time, and the urine was slightly red. After a detailed inquiry, the doctor informed her that she had a urinary tract infection, which was caused by sitting on a long-distance bus during her menstrual period! It turned out that Miss Li was menstruating the previous week, and coinciding with the Dragon Boat Festival, she took a long-distance bus back to her hometown to celebrate. To minimize bathroom breaks, she drank only half a cup of water and did not change her sanitary napkin in a timely manner.
