How should you wipe after peeing?
The proper way to wipe after peeing is as follows:
- Gently pat the area dry with toilet paper.
- Wipe from front to back to prevent bacteria from spreading from the anus to the urethra.
- Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the area, as this can cause irritation.
- Use unscented, hypoallergenic toilet paper to minimize the risk of irritation.
- If you experience any pain, burning, or itching after wiping, talk to your doctor.
