Is it safe to wash your vagina with warm salt water if u have uti. sex while i had uti and lower abd&backpain aftr itchy & white stuff in vagina ok?

Not the best idea.: The problem with this has to do with the concentration of salt in the water. Too much salt could cause burning. It is however a good idea to pour warm water over the vaginal area while you urinate. It also sounds like you have a vaginal infection which could be either yeast or bacterial based on your description.
