Patient's question:
For the past few days, I've been experiencing itching in the private area. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I had a gynecological inflammation. But I always use condoms during sex with my boyfriend, and both of us are quite hygienic—we shower before intimacy—but I still ended up with this embarrassing inflammation. I bought some from the pharmacy to wash myself.Doctor's answer:
Hello, both parties should clean the external genitalia with clean water before and after sexual activity. During menstruation, it is important to change sanitary pads frequently. Sexual activity should be avoided during menstruation, and attention should be paid to hygiene. It is best to avoid using commercially marketed cleaning products. Undergarments should be sun-dried before wearing.If you have already developed gynecological inflammation, it is essential to seek timely treatment. Gynecological inflammation can spread to nearby organs such as the urethra, cervix, and uterine appendages, causing infection. If left untreated or if the condition does not improve after prolonged treatment, it may lead to adhesions, affecting fertility or causing miscarriage.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
