Patient's question:
When I first had my period, I didn't know anything. During the days when my period was heavy, I basically didn't wipe at all. It wasn't until it was almost over that I started wiping. It wasn't until a year or two later, when I gradually understood this aspect, that I started wiping every day. I've always had a lot of leukorrhea. More than a year ago, I got a vaginal infection right after having sex with my boyfriend. After taking medication, I didn't go for a follow-up check. This July, I had a thorough examination and was found to have severe cervical erosion. What kind of assistance do you need: Hello, I got a vaginal infection right after having sex. Besides the current severe erosion, does it have anything to do with not wiping during the days of my period?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of vaginitis is more related to sexual activity. Cervical erosion and vaginitis, frequent sexual intercourse, miscarriage, and other reasons are also related to the recurrence of vaginitis. There is also a certain relationship between the recurrence of vaginitis and not cleaning the external genitalia during the previous menstrual period. Because in many cases, the bacteria causing vaginal infection are normal flora from the external genitalia, such as Escherichia coli. Therefore, the hygiene of the external genitalia is important whether during the menstrual period or before and after sexual activity.
