How to treat perineal sores and smelly discharge after sex?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I know it can be uncomfortable to talk about, but you are doing the right thing by asking. I am here to help, and I will be as real with you as I would be with any patient sitting in front of me.

From what you have described, you had rough sex for multiple days and are now noticing sores on your perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) and a foul-smelling discharge. It is likely your skin has been irritated or torn, and now there may be a bacterial infection going on. Here is what might be happening and what you should do:

What could be happening:

1. Friction sores or small tears from rough or prolonged sex are common, especially if there is not enough lubrication.

1. If the area is not allowed to heal and more friction is added, it can cause worsening trauma.

1. The smelly discharge suggests there could be a secondary infection, possibly bacterial vaginosis, yeast, or even something like herpes or a skin infection in the area, depending on what the sores look like.

What you need to do:

1. Pause all sexual activity immediately, let your body rest, and start healing.

1. Clean the area gently with warm water only. No soaps, no douching, no antiseptics; they will just irritate it more.

1. Wear breathable cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing until the area starts feeling better.

1. You need to see a doctor or gynecologist as soon as you can. They will do a physical examination to look at the sores. A swab to test the discharge for infection. Possibly a short course of antibiotics or antifungal treatment, depending on the results.

1. If there is a bad smell, pain, fever, or the sores are spreading or not healing, it is important not to ignore that. Infections in that area can get worse quickly if not treated properly.

1. If you want, you can describe what the sores look like (are they open, blister-like, crusty, etc.), and I can give you a more focused idea of what it might be, but still, in-person care is essential here.

1. You are not alone, and this kind of thing happens more often than people think. The important part is taking care of your body and getting proper help now.

Feel free to follow up with any further questions or concerns.

Thank you.
