Patient's question:
I need to have a gynecological examination every year, but after each thorough examination, I feel cold for 3 days. Why is it recommended to abstain from sex for three days after a gynecological examination?Doctor's answer:
Three days of abstinence before a gynecological examination is to eliminate some uncertain factors. For example, if you want to have a routine vaginal discharge examination, if you have just had intercourse, there may be mild inflammation at this time. However, this mild inflammation at this time does not necessarily mean that you have contracted an infection, because the body itself has the ability to resist. Only after three days, if you have contracted bacteria, it will grow vigorously. If not, it will disappear.
