Patient's question:
Doctor, I have vaginitis, and my shorts are always dirty. I am using a gynecological wash to clean the groin area. I would like to ask the doctor, if I have vaginitis, can I still have sexual intercourse? Will it transmit bacteria to my husband? I hope the doctor can explain.Doctor's answer:
If you have vaginal inflammation, you need to distinguish what type of vaginal inflammation it is. For example, if it is a common bacterial vaginosis, this is generally not infectious, and there is no need to worry. You can have sex. However, if it is a fungal vaginosis, there may be some degree of transmissibility. Therefore, if you have vaginal inflammation, it is best to first treat it with medication and wait until your body has fully recovered before having sex.
