Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long after pregnancy should one avoid sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the impact of sexual activity on a fetus during pregnancy is primarily observed in the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy. The first trimester is more likely to cause miscarriage in pregnant women, while the third trimester often leads to premature birth. During the remaining time, the impact of sexual activity on the fetus is not significant. Therefore, it is important to strictly control the timing to avoid any accidents. The external genital area should not be washed with alkaline water. Since the vagina is acidic, it can inhibit bacterial growth. If alkaline water is used for washing, it will disrupt the acidic environment, leading to bacterial proliferation.
