Why Do I Experience Itching After Sex?

I am a young woman and I have found that for about 4 days after I have sex I have an itch within my private area that disrupts my sleep and day to day life. What can I do?

Answered on 12th June '24

You might have a yeast infection. This can happen to women after having sex because of changes in the pH balance of the vagina. Itching and discomfort are common symptoms. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can be used to help relieve the itch or you could ask your pharmacist for advice on this. Keep the area clean and dry, wear cotton panties, and avoid scented products. You should see a gynecologist for further assessment and treatment.

I had protected sex and my period is delayed and later seeing light bleeding

Female | 17

There can be several factors if you are experiencing a delayed period followed by light bleeding like stress, hormonal changes, contraceptive use, and the possibility of pregnancy. While protected sex reduces the risk of pregnancy, no method is entirely foolproof. If you are concerned about pregnancy confirm by taking a home pregnancy test.

In case you had sex and did not use any of contraceptives and you missed your period, there is a chance that you might be pregnant. But, it is advisable that a gynecologist examines for a correct diagnosis.

In that case discuss your options and determine the safest and most appropriate course of action for your situation. Your doctor can assess your pregnancy, and provide guidance on the safest and most appropriate approach, which may include medical abortion if you're within the gestational age limit.
