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? I've heard that gynecological examinations always use that duck-billed examination tool. Since this is my first time having sexual intercourse again, will the doctor use this on me?Doctor's answer:
It's possible that poor hygiene during sexual activity may have led to a recurrence of localized infection. Therefore, it's important to visit the hospital as soon as possible for routine vaginal discharge and urine tests to get checked. 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's advisable to eat more light and nutritious food to maintain physical and mental health, and to keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
