After sex,

1. Pee
2. Wash up
3. Drink water
4. Cuddle

In that order. 1. Why should you pee?

Studies have shown that peeing immediately after sex helps to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI). The urine flushes out some germs that may have got stuck in the urine passage (urethra) during sex.

• Are we catching cruise?
• Are we in a committed relationship?

A woman's hymen can not tell you much about her virginity. Stop depending on it to judge if she's a virgin or not.

{RT for public awareness!}

The hymen is a membrane covering the vagina opening. Its shape and size varies in people.

It normally covers the vaginal opening only partially to allow discharges/menstrual flow to pass through.

If imperfonate (covering vagina completely), surgery is done to open it up a bit.

A woman just lost her life due to ectopic pregnancy!

Ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg attaches anywhere outside the womb or uterus rather than inside.

It can be life-threatening.

But we can save lives by helping educate everyone on the Timeline with this.

Thread 🧵

In the human body, a fertilized egg hardly survives outside the womb. If allowed to grow, it may damage nearby organs & cause severe blood loss.

The bulk of ectopic pregnancies occur in/along the Fallopian tubes. Some in the ovaries, cervix or a random location in the abdomen.

A football star Christopher Edoghogho reportedly slumped & died during a match in Edo.

Organizers of sporting events must provide a resuscitation team well-trained in CPR & equipped with AEDs (automated external defibrillators) to resuscitate cardiac arrest victims on the pitch.

Most times, players don't die on the pitch if immediate lifesaving resuscitation is PROPERLY done on them before they are taken to the hospital.

Sudden collapse & death of players on the pitch has been happening for so long & it seems nothing tangible is being done about it.
