3 male habits that can put women’s intimate health at risk

  1. Not maintaining good hygiene before intimate contact:
    The male genital area can accumulate bacteria, sweat, and traces of natural secretions that, if not properly cleaned, can be transferred during sexual contact.
    This can cause irritation, urinary tract infections, or bacterial vaginosis in women, even without a sexually transmitted infection.
    What to do: It is essential that both partners maintain a daily intimate hygiene routine. Warm water and a neutral soap are sufficient; avoid perfumed or harsh products. It is also advisable to wash before and after intercourse to reduce risks.
  2. Wearing tight or synthetic underwear:Many men don’t know this, but polyester or Lycra underwear promotes the accumulation of heat and moisture, creating an ideal environment for the growth of fungi and bacteria. These microorganisms can easily be transmitted to a partner during contact.
    What to do: Choosing breathable cotton underwear and avoiding very tight garments helps keep the area dry and healthy. It’s also important to change your underwear daily and avoid sleeping in the same underwear you wore during the day.
  3. Ignoring medical checkups or infection symptoms:
    Some men can carry asymptomatic infections , such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) or fungal infections, without experiencing any visible discomfort. However, they can still transmit these infections to their partners.
    What to do: Medical checkups aren’t just for women. Men should also have regular urological checkups and STI tests, especially if they have multiple sexual partners.
    Prevention, condom use, and open communication are key to protecting both partners’ health.
