Patient's question:
My boyfriend came to visit me. He booked a room for the night and couldn't wait to have sex with me. Even when I asked him to take a shower, he refused. So, we had sex anyway. After that, I felt a lot of pain in my vagina, and every day, there was yellow discharge coming out with a very bad smell.What kind of help do I need: What hygiene precautions should I take during sexual intercourse?
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Both men and women should clean their external genitalia before and after sexual activity. When cleaning the female external genitalia, in addition to washing the labia majora and minora and the surrounding areas, it is also necessary to clean the anus and the surrounding area. Cool boiled water or running water can be used for rinsing. Do not use soap to wash the vagina or frequently use vaginal douches, as the vagina of women has its own self-cleaning function, which can protect itself from bacterial interference. When washing the external genitalia, the hands should not enter the vagina to avoid damaging the vaginal walls.
