Can you have sex while treating vaginitis with suppositories?

Patient's question:

Medical history: Vaginitis, cervical erosion. When using suppositories to treat vaginitis, is sexual activity absolutely prohibited? Why? If it has occurred, what are the risks?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is strictly prohibited during treatment, as it will reduce the effectiveness of the treatment! The vagina is the sexual organ of women and is also close to the urethra and anus. If personal hygiene and sexual hygiene are not paid attention to, it is very easy for bacteria and other pathogens to infiltrate and cause infection and inflammation. Inflammation can lead to vaginal congestion, increased vaginal discharge, lower body itching, burning pain, or discomfort. Vaginitis is divided into candidiasis, trichomoniasis, and haemophilus vaginitis according to the different pathogens that cause the infection.
