Patient's question:
My husband often works in other places. Recently, when my husband came home from work, although I was on my period, he insisted on having sex with me. A few days after having sex, my vagina started to itch. So I want to ask the doctor, what should I do if my vagina itches after sex during my period?Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to assist you. You likely have vaginitis caused by sexual intercourse during your menstrual period. During a woman's menstrual period, the body's immunity decreases, and the cervix opens wider, making it easy for bacteria to enter the body during intercourse, leading to inflammation and infection. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a gynecological health check-up, including abdominal ultrasound, routine leukorrhea tests, and other detailed examinations. Based on the examination results, targeted treatment can be provided. Pay attention to local hygiene, especially menstrual and sexual hygiene. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. In the future, avoid sexual intercourse during your menstrual period. Wishing you good health.
