Patient's question:
I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, and I've been feeling pain in my groin area for these past few days. I can't even bear to urinate. I don't know what's going on, and I want to see a doctor. How much does a gynecological examination cost approximately? I heard that gynecological examinations always use that duck-billed speculum for a thorough check. Will the doctor use this on me since this is my first time having sexual intercourse again?Doctor's answer:
It could be due to poor hygiene during sexual activity, leading to a recurrence of localized infection. Therefore, it is recommended to visit the hospital as soon as possible for a routine vaginal discharge test and a urine test to check the condition. Usually, after sexual activity, an external dilator is used for a thorough examination, so it should be scheduled appropriately and mentally prepared. In the meantime, it would be beneficial to eat a lighter diet, maintain physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
