I am not in a position to argue (aging male who uses a toilet exclusively), but if I understand the principle behind a bidet, the jet of water might encourage intrusion into the urethra of unwanted bacteria from the vulva......or not....? I mean, it's not like bidets haven't been used by millions for about 120 years or more. Im just making a comment that, to me, I would desist from the use of a bidet if I had a female anatomy and were treating a UTI.
