In fact, I told you at the beginning of this article that the main causes related to the onset of post-coital cystitis may be due to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimann.com\/en\/faq\/when-to-do-the-pelvic-floor-assessment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overstretched pelvic floor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I leave below <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimann.com\/en\/cystitis_kit\/postcoital-cystitis-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the complete kit for treating and preventing post-coital cystitis<\/a>, and if you should have any doubts about dosage and intake, remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimann.com\/en\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can always write to me<\/a>. \ud83d\udc8c<\/p>\n<p>As you may have guessed, it only takes a few small steps to <strong>enjoy your sex life without any problems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I hug you tightly,w<\/p>\n<p>Lorenza<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Read also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimann.com\/en\/magazine-en\/cystitis-and-pool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-sheets-value=\"{\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{\">Can going to the pool promote cystitis?
