Patient's question:
My boyfriend came to visit me, and he booked a room for the night. He couldn't wait to have sex with me and refused to take a shower even when I asked him to. Since there was no other option, we had sex anyway. After that, I felt a lot of pain in my vagina, and every day I have 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:
Analysis of the condition: Before and after sexual activity, both men and women should clean the external genitalia and external genital organs. When cleaning the female external genitalia, in addition to washing the labia majora and minora and the surrounding areas, the anus and its surroundings should also be cleaned. Cool boiled water or running water can be used for rinsing. Do not wash with soap or frequently use vaginal cleansers, 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 wall.
