Patient's question:
I have been experiencing intense external itching after having sex with my husband for the past few days. However, as soon as I go to the bathroom and rinse the area with clean water, the symptoms immediately disappear, and the itching stops. Does this prove that there is nothing wrong with my external genitalia, and that it is my husband who has the issue and is infecting me?Doctor's answer:
After sexual intercourse between husband and wife, itching may reappear. This is mainly considered to be caused by poor hygiene. It is recommended that you clean yourselves thoroughly before sexual intercourse, and both partners should try to wash daily. Especially if one of you has bacteria or any contagious condition again, it is even more important to pay attention to cleaning. In your case, you can have your husband checked by a doctor to see if there are any contagious bacteria or pathogens.There are several treatment methods for vulvar itching, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the diagnostic methods used also vary. Therefore, patients need to be examined and diagnosed promptly to receive targeted treatment.
