Bottom line: 1. Immediate itching after sex doesn’t prove you have contracted an infection from that very sexual encounter. 2. It takes days to weeks for an infection to become symptomatic. 3. If the itching persists and is followed by things like discharge, seek medical help.

In two of this instances, something to handle the allergy is just what you need not to go on and abuse antibiotics. Where you should be concerned is if the itching persists, it becomes severe, it is accompanied by discharge, or is pain then you need to rush to the hospital.

Sexually transmitted infections have incubation period which can take days to weeks. If you start itching immediately after sex, these are likely the culprits: 1. The condom: Some people are sensitive to latex which is the material used in making condom. This can result in allergic reaction like itching among others. Solution: Best: use condoms that are not latex based. Might help: Use a better quality. Condom brands pass condom brands. Some brands have well made and smooth condoms, you have less friction, and less chances of reaction i.e less sensitivity to the allergy. 2. Allergy to the semen: Yeah, it’s possible you’re sensitive to that particular protein or the one from that particular man. 3. You have a pre-existing infection, and the sex served as a trigger: Like I pointed out, it takes days to weeks for some infections to show symptoms, if you start itching immediately after sex, there is 99.99% chance it’s from a pre-existing infection whose condition for getting active has been fully and duly met.

You had sex with someone and minutes after the extracurricular activities, your vagina starts itching you. You conclude immediately that you have contracted infection already. Aunty, it is not like that, “infection” doesn’t get active in seconds.

A man came with his wife to the pharmacy. He told me he has this reaction around his neck, and he has used a particular triple action cream, but when he stopped using it the reaction (rashes) continued. After certain questions, I found out that he was reacting to a particular necklace he uses. Anytime he uses the necklace, he experiences that. I myself I am familiar with that particular experience. He then asked me what should I do or what will you recommend? I told him it is very simple, since there is a reaction, it means there is a trigger. The trigger here is the necklace he is using. The best and straightforward solution here is to stop using the necklace. As I said this, it seems like his wife was waiting for it, lol. She said “yes”! And gave me a thumbs up. I went on to tell the man about a personal experience I had as well, also, instead of suppressing the allergy or reaction, why not remove the causative? The man looked at me, looked at his wife and told me, “eh, I have heard you, but what can I use for the rash”? The way he kept his face, I barely held myself from laughing 🤣 So yes, trace the root cause and eliminate it, that’s how you really get free. Thank you.

I attended to an elderly woman today, she said she wanted Lofnac (diclofenac) and Ibucap (main ingredient, ibuprofen). I started explaining to her why she is not supposed to use both of them together. Yes, they both handle pain, but they belong to the same class, and they have same side effects. When you take them together, you multiply the side effects. You have a higher chance of developing ulcer, and also considering her age, more strain will be on her kidneys. She listened to my advice and got one of them instead.

-Drink a cup of water this morning. -Eat at least an egg today. -Stay hydrated. -Avoid soda. -Take a walk. Use your legs. -Use perfumes. Smell nice. Today will favor you.

Not every thing needs you to take medications. Sometimes, all you need is more fluid intake, more rest, proper stress management, more vegetables, fruits, exercise, workout. And you will be good.

Eid Mubarak to all my muslim brothers and sisters on this platform. May you continue to have reasons to celebrate. Amin.

There things ladies do that’s wrong when it comes to their health. Some ladies go on antibiotics after each period. Some even go on inserts. Why? To them, they are cleaning their system from the remnants of the menstrual flow. But this is a wrong practice, at best, this is antibiotic abuse. Your menstrual flow is not a bacterial infection, neither is it a fungal infection. This is your body shedding the thickened lining of the uterus, indicating pregnancy has not occurred. Why do you need antibiotics for washing and setting? You don’t! Menstruation is natural process. It’s biological. Don’t let quacks tell you you need to take antibiotics after your period. Don’t let them sell you things you don’t need because they are greedy or do not know any better. What you need is to be hygienic. What you need is to properly sanitize. The body will handle itself. Just be very hygienic. You don’t need to take antibiotics because you simply finished menstruating, that’s a bad practice, and should be totally discontinued. You’re doing more harm than good to yourself with that. Thank you.
