A medical doctor, Dr Victor-Bryan
Nwala has shared a medical tip on Twitter, warning against the use of saliva as
lubricant during lovemaking because it may lead to infection.
According to the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN), Nwala stated this on his Twitter page on Wednesday, stressing
that such practice could cause infections and lead to a difficult and unhealthy
life.
He insisted that people should
stop using saliva as lubricant when trying to “get things moist” during love making.
He stated that saliva contained
digestive enzymes that could prove dangerous to the eco-system of the s3xual
organ.
According to the doctor, the
bacteria in saliva is different from those in the female reproductive organ, and its introduction
could lead to yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis.
He also listed herpes, gonorrhea,
chlamydia, HPV, syphilis, and trichomoniasis as diseases that could be
transmitted to the genitals through saliva.
“Saliva is not a lubricant! The
result can upset your vaginal microbiome and leave you susceptible to
developing a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis.
“Any STI in the throat or mouth
can be transmitted to the genitals through saliva.
“If your partner has an active
herpes lesion, for example, using the spit to ‘make things slick’ could leave
you with genital herpes.
“This scenario happens more than
you might think and it is the most common way genital herpes is contracted.
“Even if you don’t see a cold
sore on or around the mouth, the virus can still be transmissible.
“Herpes isn’t the only oral STI
you could contract. Gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV, syphilis and trichomoniasis can
also all be transmitted to the genitals through saliva,” he warned.
