Patient's question:
When my girlfriend and I have sex, we both use condoms. Today, I read an article saying that condoms containing benzocaine can be harmful to the body. I've been using condoms with benzocaine, and now I'm a bit worried. Are condoms with benzocaine harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
A condom containing benzocaine is a numbing medication that can have a numbing effect on the glans, reduce its sensitivity, prolong the time of ejaculation, and cause little harm to the body. Excessive use may lead to dependence. Pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity, and clean the external genitalia with clean water immediately after intercourse to avoid cross-infection. Rest more often. The above information can be used for reference.
