Clitoris
A small bud-shaped sexual organ about the size of a finger tip on the female genitalia. The clitoris is the only part of the human body designed purely for inducing sexual pleasure with no other purpose. Not to be confused with the G-Spot.
Condoms
A thin sheath of latex rubber or polyurethane that fits over a male's erected penis. Condoms block sperm from getting into the female's vagina and also provide protection against sexually transmitted infections.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer affects the cervix (the neck of the womb). It is the fifth most common cancer affecting Singaporean women. Among the three major ethnic groups in Singapore, the Chinese have the highest incidence rate of 11.5 per 100,000 women per year, followed by the Malays and Indians at 7.4 and 6.1 per 100,000 women respectively.
Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection. It is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in Singapore. If not treated, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), as well as sterility and pregnancy problems.
Contraception
Every sexual intercourse between a man and a woman has the chance of ending in pregnancy. That's fine if you are both ready to be parents. If you do not want any children yet, don't take any chances. Talk it over and choose a contraceptive that suits you and your partner best. See your doctor for more personal advice on the different types of contraceptives available.
