How to treat itching the day after intercourse
Itching the day after intercourse should be treated according to other accompanying symptoms. If there is only itching without any other symptoms, no specific treatment is required—simply maintaining hygiene and cleaning the perineal area is sufficient. However, if additional symptoms are present, such as increased vaginal discharge, potassium permanganate sitz baths may be used under a doctor's guidance. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Prepare a clean basin and sterilize it by rinsing with boiling water.
2. Pour boiling water into the basin. Once the water temperature drops to 40°C, add potassium permanganate and stir until dissolved, using a dilution ratio of 1:5000.
3. Clean the perineal area with water, then sit in the solution for approximately 15–20 minutes.
4. After the sitz bath, dry the area thoroughly with a clean towel and avoid getting chilled.
If this procedure is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and perform it under the supervision of a qualified physician to prevent bodily harm due to improper technique.
