Patient's question:
The other day, after having sex with my boyfriend, he didn't wash up. In the following days, several small papules grew on his penis, and he said it was a sexually transmitted disease that I had transmitted to him. He said he felt my discharge had a strong odor and was unpleasant, and that his vagina itched after we had sex. Recently, I've noticed some abnormality in my discharge and itching in my external genital area. But these are gynecological issues, right? Could they also be a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
No, it's two different things. Gynecological diseases are conditions that occur in the female reproductive system, such as diseases that recur in the external genitalia, the most common being vulvitis. They can also occur in the vagina, such as vaginitis, in the cervix, such as cervical erosion, cervical inflammation, cervical polyps, and cervical cancer. They can also occur in the uterus, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, and endometriosis, among others. They can also occur in the pelvic cavity, such as ovarian tumors, etc. In addition to the diseases of the fallopian tubes, such as tubitis and hydrosalpinx, all these related issues are called gynecological diseases. In addition to treating gynecological diseases, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
