3. Neglecting medical examinations and symptoms of infections
Many men can carry asymptomatic infections—such as vaginal yeast infections, HPV (human papillomavirus), or others—without showing any visible symptoms. These infections can then be transmitted to their partners.
What to do:
Medical checkups are not just “a woman’s issue.” Men should also undergo periodic urological examinations and screening tests for sexually transmitted infections, especially if they have more than one partner.
Prevention, condom use, and honest communication are essential to protect both of you.
How to take care of your intimate health as a couple
– Maintain good hygiene for both of you, before and after intimacy.
– Choose underwear made of natural fibers and change it daily.
– Avoid perfumed soaps and intimate deodorants.
– Create an atmosphere of trust where each of you can openly discuss any discomfort, symptoms, or concerns.
– Undergo preventative health checkups, separately or together, especially if symptoms recur.
