Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year. Recently, I have always felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and aching waist. Moreover, my private area has been very uncomfortable, with itching and burning, especially in the afternoon, it is really unbearable. Please ask: can a woman with vaginitis have sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Of course, during inflammation, the vaginal mucosa becomes congested and fragile, and friction during sexual activity can easily cause bleeding. With any inflammation, sexual activity should be avoided. It is necessary to undergo clean treatment, and after symptoms subside, sexual activity can resume. If it is a yeast infection of the vagina, medication can be applied vaginally, but anti-inflammatory drugs should not be taken, as they can worsen the yeast infection. The external genitalia may be intensely itchy, and vaginal discharge may resemble cottage cheese. It is best to undergo a thorough examination of vaginal discharge. Based on the examination results, medication can be guided, which will be more effective.
