On occasions such as Valentine’s Day or International Women’s Day or Vietnamese Women’s Day, many men take advantage of the opportunity to “give gifts” to their women.
This is a very normal thing, especially for couples or couples in love because sex is one of the needs of life. However, not everyone knows how to have a safe sex life.
In fact, after the holidays, at some gynecological clinics, andrology clinics or hospitals, the number of patients coming to the emergency room related to sexual activities increases compared to normal days.
In women, the majority of cases are perforation of the uterus, tearing of the vaginal mucosa, or in men, it is a case of penile fracture. The number of women suffering from vaginal infections and sexually transmitted diseases is also increasing.
Sharing the story she once encountered, Hoang Trang (28 years old, in Hanoi) still cannot forget the gift giving “incident” she encountered on October 20 last year.
At that time, Trang’s husband had just gone on a business trip away from home for a week, promising to return on Vietnamese Women’s Day and have a special gift for his wife. “As a woman, when my husband goes on a business trip and promises to buy me a gift, who doesn’t look forward to it every day?”, Ms. Trang shared.
True to his promise, on October 20, Ms. Trang’s husband returned and did not forget to bring a bouquet of fresh flowers, along with a handbag and branded perfume.
“That evening, after the whole family returned from eating at a restaurant, my husband asked for another special “gift” for me. Actually, I wasn’t really menstruating yet, but because my husband was away from home for a whole week, I thought he would pity me. clicked his tongue in agreement”, Ms. Trang recalled.
Everything went normally, but a week later, Ms. Trang showed signs of itching and unpleasant-smelling discharge in her sensitive area. Worried, she went to the doctor and was diagnosed with gonorrhea. When the doctor consulted and needed to examine her husband, it was discovered that Trang’s husband also had this disease.
“The couple was suspicious of each other, angry at each other for nearly 3 months before making up.” I was too subjective that day not to use a condom like usualn”, Ms. Trang shared.
Doctors said that cases like Ms. Trang and her husband are not rare, and are even more common with couples in love. Therefore, even husband and wife who love each other and have “sworn their love for each other” should still practice safe sex.
According to experts’ instructions, to avoid being hospitalized or contracting sexually transmitted diseases, especially on October 20, women need to pay attention to the following issues:
– Only do “that” when your health condition is stable and your mind is comfortable. Avoid difficult-unique movements to avoid problems when “making love”.
– Women need to clean their private areas properly, using safe and reputable cleaning solutions to take care of their “little girl” every day. Good hygiene and care of the vaginal area will limit infections, prevent gynecological diseases, and will especially help improve sexual performance.
– Use condoms when having sex, even if you have used other contraceptive methods. Because condoms are both a contraceptive method and a way to protect yourself as well as your husband/partner from sexually transmitted diseases.
If you want to have children and do not use condoms, you should go to an obstetrics and gynecology examination for women and a gynecology examination for men to rule out sexually transmitted diseases before having sex.
– Be faithful to one spouse or one partner. This not only prevents sexually transmitted diseases, but also helps preserve family happiness.
Finally, experts recommend that if you unfortunately encounter problems that affect sexual activities or have abnormalities in your genital organs, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Without signs of illness, without self-treatment, this will easily leave serious consequences, even affecting fertility.
