JAKARTA - For many women, changes in the feminine area after sex often cause curiosity to raise concerns. Is the fluid that comes out normal? Does the flavor moist or texture change in the vaginal area indicate something wrong?

To answer this, a female health specialist gave an explanation of what was actually considered normal after having sex.

According to Dr. Susanna Unsworth, a female health expert from Intimania, a woman's body naturally undergoes various changes during and after sexual intercourse.

"Clenal water naturally changes throughout the menstrual cycle. During the ovulation period, the fluid is usually clear, slippery, and somewhat elastic. This helps sperm move more easily and increases the chances of fertilization," he explained, quoted from the Tyla page.

In addition, when a woman is aroused, her body produces more lubricant in response to the increase in blood flow in the genital area.

As long as it is aroused, the production of vaginal fluids increases because blood flow to the genital tissue increases. This causes a slight swelling and pressure on the vaginal wall, so that moisture can come out through the tissue. Therefore, liquids when aroused usually feel more dilute or runny," said Dr. Susanna.

He also added that this process was influenced by physical and emotional factors.

"Physical inflammation triggers an increase in blood flow, while emotional passion and relaxedness affect how easily the body produces lubrication. Before or after sex, fluids that look clear or white and don't smell good are normal," he explained.

In addition to discussing fluids, Dr. Susanna highlighted the importance of pelvic floor exercise (pelvic floor exercise) to maintain sexual health.

"The routine exercise of the pelvic floor muscles can increase muscle strength, facilitate blood flow to the pelvic area, and make muscle contractions when orgasms feel stronger and more satisfying," he said.

However, he also reminded that estrogen hormone levels play an important role in natural lubricant production. If these hormone levels decrease such as when menopause, breastfeeding, or due to the use of certain hormonal drugs, lubrication can decrease and make sexual intercourse feel dryer or uncomfortable.

However, not all changes can be considered reasonable. Dr. Susanna insists there are some signs to watch out for.

"Green, yellow, gray, thick, clumpy, foamy, or has a sharp or unusual odor is not normal. Likewise, the appearance of blood outside of menstruation, itching, or irritation. Conditions like this should be immediately checked to medical personnel to ensure there is no infection or other causes," he said.

This explanation from Dr. Susanna is an important reminder for women to better understand their own bodies. Changes after sex are not always a sign of trouble, but recognizing what is normal and what is not the first step to maintaining reproductive health and better intimacy.
