Can you get vaginitis from not cleaning up after sex?

Patient's question:

I have been married to my husband for seven or eight years, but our frequency of sexual activity is generally high, usually three to five times a week, except during my period. However, after we finish having sex at night, I don't have the time to go to the bathroom to wash. Do you think this habit can lead to vaginitis?

Doctor's answer:

After sexual activity, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and perform vaginal cleaning and other adjustments. If cleaning is not done after sexual activity, there is a possibility of transmitting vaginal inflammation or causing recurrent vaginal infections and gynecological issues. Pay attention to your specific symptoms and maintain cleanliness during sexual activity to prevent the transmission of gynecological infections, which is safer.
In addition to treating vaginal infections, it is recommended to pay attention to diet in daily life and always maintain a cheerful mood to enhance physical health and speed up recovery.
