However, be very thorough while rinsing, as soap may irritate the urethra in men and women, and the vagina in women. Wait to urinate until after cleaning to flush out any soap residue that may have entered the urethral opening. Women should be especially careful not to let any cleaning agent into the vagina as bacterial depletion may cause yeast infections. Piercings should also be cleaned after intercourse. Although intercourse is not recommended until the full healing is over, the use of a condom is imperative during this period.
All oral contact is also to be avoided.
Spermicide and lubricants are able to cause irritation, so be very careful.
