I had inflammation when I had sex with my husband.

Many female friends will develop inflammation after having sex with their husbands. If this is the case, they should not have sex again, otherwise it will cause great harm to their bodies. They should also undergo a detailed gynecological examination. It is best for both husband and wife to undergo the corresponding examination. Only in this way can misdiagnosis be avoided. Even their vulva needs to be examined.

Purpose of examination: Check whether the skin of the vulva is smooth, whether the color is normal, and whether there are ulcers, dermatitis, growths, and hypopigmentation. Normal vulva: pubic hair points downward in a triangular distribution, labia majora are pigmented, labia minora are slightly red, clitoris length is <2.5cm, and the mucosa around the urethral opening is light pink. A speculum is then used to further examine the vagina and cervix.

2. Vagina

Purpose of examination: To check whether the surface of the vaginal mucosa is smooth, whether the texture is normal, whether there are bleeding spots, and whether the properties and odor of vaginal discharge are normal. Normal vagina: The vaginal wall mucosa is light pink in color, with wrinkles, no ulcers, growths, cysts, or congenital malformations. The secretions are egg white-like or white paste-like, without fishy odor and in small amounts, but increase during ovulation and pregnancy. If your vaginal discharge is to be examined, your doctor will take a sample at this time.

Purpose of examination: To observe whether there are any tumors, ulcers, erosions, or polyps on the cervix, whether the cervix is ​​normal in size, whether the surface is smooth, whether the texture is too hard, and whether there is uterine prolapse. Normal cervix: bulges around the periphery and a hole in the middle. The shape of the navel for non-pregnant women is round, while that for pregnant women is "I"-shaped, tough, flesh-red, and has a smooth surface. If you want to do a cervical cancer smear test, your doctor will take a specimen at this time.

Purpose of examination: To understand the location of the uterine fundus, whether it is active, and its texture. If the uterus is enlarged, too hard, or has an uneven surface, these are abnormal phenomena and further examination is required. Normal uterus: inverted pear-shaped, 5 to 6 cm long, 4 to 5 cm wide, and 3 to 4 cm thick. Most are in an anteriorly tilted and anteflexed position, with a medium hard texture and good mobility. The ovaries and fallopian tubes are collectively called "appendages". They are movable and feel slightly sore and swollen when touched. Normal fallopian tubes cannot be palpated.

The doctor takes out the speculum, puts on a pair of very thin rubber gloves, applies Vaseline, and slowly inserts one or two fingers into the vagina. The other hand is placed on the lower abdomen and presses down hard. This is an examination of the uterus and appendages. You will feel pain when your fingers touch the bottom of the uterus, but it will not last long, about 1 minute.
