Patient's question:
Because I have had gynecological inflammation for a long time, and during this period, I have repeatedly experienced vulvar itching. But last night, I had sexual intercourse with my husband. Can I have a gynecological examination after sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Women should avoid undergoing gynecological examinations within 24 hours after sexual activity, as this may potentially affect the examination results. Therefore, it is recommended to wait for at least 24 hours after sexual activity before going to the hospital for the examination. Since there are many different types of examinations, they mainly include routine gynecological examinations or gynecological ultrasound examinations, among others.
