Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Please ask if having intercourse on the third day of menstruation without taking any contraceptive measures can lead to pregnancy. Also, if there is vaginal itching and redness after one week, is it a sexually transmitted disease or caused by internal heat? What medication should I use?Duration of the current illness: It has been five days until today
Current general condition: Itching around the vaginal area
Medical history: None
Doctor's answer:
Hello, itching and dryness in the vaginal area is likely caused by poor local hygiene or other factors. You don't need to be overly anxious. This condition could also be due to taking emergency contraception, so it's recommended to closely monitor the situation. During this time, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods. If necessary, seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment. Consider getting a routine vaginal discharge test, and based on the results, take medication accordingly. Emergency contraception can disrupt the menstrual cycle. A small amount of vaginal bleeding after taking emergency contraception is a side effect and nothing to worry about.
