Patient's question:
What cleaning methods should experts use to ensure hygiene? Can cool water with soap be used beforehand, and is it sufficient to rinse with warm water afterward!!Doctor's answer:
Using soap to clean the genital area can cause inflammation in the female during sexual intercourse, such as urethritis. Yes, it can. Urinary tract infections like urethritis can occur because the female urethral environment is acidic, and using soap, which is alkaline, disrupts the protective environment, leading to urinary tract infections.After intercourse, when wiping away (secretions), it is best to go from front to back to avoid introducing bacteria from the anal area into the urethral opening. Use clean toilet paper. It is necessary to urinate promptly after sexual intercourse to flush out any bacteria that may have entered the urethra.
For local cleaning, it is not advisable to frequently use alkaline cleaning products like soap. Plain water is sufficient.
