Patient's question:
I've been married for five years. Recently, a physical examination revealed that I have inflammation. I haven't paid attention to it, but I've heard that if a man has inflammation, it can affect a woman. I'm quite worried about whether it might affect my wife.Doctor's answer:
Does inflammation affect women? It generally depends on what type of inflammation it is. For example, inflammation caused by bacterial infection of the glans can lead to cross-infection if sexual intercourse occurs with a woman. Therefore, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse until the inflammation is fully healed, as it may worsen the condition. It is also advised to seek medical attention promptly for examination to identify the cause and receive timely symptomatic treatment to avoid affecting health and sexual well-being.
