A member asked:
Can you get a vaginal infection from having sex without drying your body off after a shower?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: You can get a vaginal infection from sex. Drying off after a shower isn't related to vaginal infections, and it won't help fix anything if you've caught something from intercourse. See your doctor if you have symptoms of an infection: abnormal discharge, odor, burning, or pain.
