Patient's question:
The fungal vaginal infection test has turned negative, with a discharge of degree II cleanliness. What is the reason for the external genital swelling and redness after sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
After sexual activity, if the external genital area is swollen and red, it is likely due to irritation during intercourse. You can try sitting in warm water for a few minutes or applying a cold compress with a damp towel. It is important to maintain cleanliness in the perineal area at all times. Underwear should be changed and washed daily, and exposed to sunlight when possible. Underwear should be washed separately and not with socks. For patients, if the condition of vaginitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated with appropriate medication, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of vaginitis. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
