How long can one have sexual intercourse after bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

35 years old. Female. Not in good mental state, feeling sick. After checking, it was found to be bacterial vaginosis. Please ask: How long can one have sexual intercourse after bacterial vaginosis?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, bacterial vaginosis can be treated within 7-10 days. However, it is still recommended that you visit the hospital for a follow-up examination of vaginal secretions to confirm that the symptoms have subsided before resuming sexual activity. Otherwise, it may easily lead to transmission between both partners. Pay attention to personal hygiene, separate and wash underwear, and expose them to sunlight. Maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and do not wear tight-fitting pants. If your husband also has inflammation, it is recommended that he seek timely treatment as well.
