Skin peeling after intercourse following use of Xiaomishuan (dissolving suppository)
Skin peeling after intercourse following the use of Xiaomishuan (a traditional Chinese medicine suppository) may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions, such as vulvovaginal candidiasis or trichomonas vaginitis. The specific analysis is as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
Xiaomishuan is a type of traditional Chinese medicine primarily used to treat cervical erosion caused by infections such as Candida albicans and Escherichia coli. During treatment, inflamed or damaged tissue may naturally shed. Therefore, skin peeling after intercourse following the use of Xiaomishuan is considered a normal phenomenon.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Vulvovaginal Candidiasis
Infection with Candida species is the main cause of vulvovaginal candidiasis. Under stimulation by inflammatory factors, patients may experience the aforementioned symptoms, including peeling. Medications such as clotrimazole vaginal tablets or fluconazole tablets can be used as directed by a physician.
2. Trichomonas Vaginitis
Trichomonas vaginitis is usually caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis. Patients may experience shedding of the vaginal mucosa, bleeding, and other discomforts, leading to such symptoms. Treatment may include medications like cefixime capsules or metronidazole suppositories, as prescribed by a doctor.
In addition, skin peeling after intercourse following Xiaomishuan use could also result from conditions such as cervicitis, endometritis, or bacterial vaginosis. It is recommended to avoid sexual activity during treatment whenever possible.
