Can bacterial vaginosis occur during sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

My external genital area is itchy, and my vaginal discharge is a bit abnormal. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed me with bacterial vaginosis. He prescribed me many anti-inflammatory medications and medication to insert for treatment. It has been about a week since I started treatment, and there isn't much medication left. My husband wants to have sex with me, so I was wondering if I can have sex with bacterial vaginosis?

Doctor's answer:

It is not advisable to have sexual intercourse if you have bacterial vaginosis, as it can easily lead to the transmission of other gynecological diseases and exacerbate the condition. Pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Maintain a nutritious diet, avoid spicy, hot, and cold foods that may irritate the stomach. Engage in regular exercise. Bacterial vaginosis can be treated with vaginal suppositories like Baofukang or Nifuratel. Additionally, during the treatment period for bacterial vaginosis, the patient's diet and care are also very important. It is essential to pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
