Patient's question:
Did I recently get a vaginal infection related to long-term use of condoms? If I don't use condoms, do I still need to take medication? Is there a better way?Doctor's answer:
Using condoms has almost no side effects for women and is not very related to your vaginal infection. If you don't want to use condoms or take medication, you can choose an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception. It is recommended that you eat less spicy and irritating food in daily life, pay attention to local hygiene, and avoid overexertion. Vaginal infection requires a medical examination of vaginal discharge for symptomatic treatment.You are four months pregnant and can have intercourse or use condoms, which will not affect the fetus. However, the frequency of intercourse should not be too high.
