Can you have sex during the course of treatment for vaginitis?

Patient's question:

I have vaginitis and bought medication I have used before, which is inserted into the vagina. In addition to oral anti-inflammatory medication. Can I have sex during the treatment for vaginitis? If I do, are there any medications I should be cautious about? If not, why?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis is strictly prohibited during medication, as sexual activity may interfere with the therapeutic effects of the medication. Apart from potentially alleviating the symptoms of the inflammation itself, it is harmful to the health of both parties. There are several types of vaginitis, and targeted symptomatic treatment should be implemented based on the specific type of vaginitis. During treatment, drink plenty of warm water, maintain a light diet, practice good personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and undergo regular follow-up examinations. Vaginitis is a condition that is difficult to fully cure. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating vaginitis and believe that recovery is certain.
