Patient's question:
Last night, I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend. To prevent pregnancy, he used a condom, but after the intercourse, I've been experiencing some itching in my lower abdomen. Could this be an allergy to the condom? I'm quite worried, and haven't told my boyfriend yet. I'd like to understand the situation a bit before discussing it with him.Doctor's answer:
You experienced itching in your lower body again after staying in the same room last night. It could be due to an allergy to condoms, but if accompanied by abnormal vaginal discharge, it might also be a secondary symptom of vaginitis. You can take a warm foot bath to check if there is hives in the local skin. If the symptoms persist and worsen, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and targeted treatment. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate your physical and mental health, and maintain good personal hygiene.
