What could be the reason for nausea, loss of appetite, and sensitivity to certain smells after one week of protected sexual intercourse?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had protected intercourse with my girlfriend one week back. Now she has symptoms of nausea and loss of appetite. She has also mentioned feeling sensitive to certain smells. Could these symptoms be related to the protected sexual intercourse we had last week, or could there be another underlying cause? What steps should we take to address these symptoms?
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
It is possible that your girlfriend's symptoms could be related to the recent sexual activity, although it is also possible that there could be another underlying cause. Various factors, such as stomach infection, food poisoning, or stress, can cause nausea and loss of appetite. Suppose your girlfriend is concerned about her symptoms. In that case, the best action is to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist. She can help determine the underlying cause of her symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. If you are worried about the possibility of pregnancy despite using protection during intercourse, your girlfriend can take a pregnancy test to check for any potential pregnancy. It is also important to note that protected intercourse is not 100 % effective at preventing pregnancy, and there is still a small risk of pregnancy even with proper condom use.
Thank you.
