Does vaginitis affect libido?

Patient's question:

I have a vaginal infection and feel very uncomfortable, but I have already taken medication. Last night, I had sex with my boyfriend, but there was no sensation at all. I'm a bit worried it might be due to the vaginal infection. I want to know if a vaginal infection affects libido?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis can interfere with libido. Currently, I recommend that you temporarily avoid sexual activity. First, you should go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a re-examination of your vaginal discharge to determine if it is normal. If there are abnormalities, it is essential to use medication for treatment first. This medication treatment requires more than one week. It is crucial to follow the prescribed course of treatment, and during this period, you must pay attention to rest and maintain a light diet. Vaginitis is a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues to avoid spicy foods that may worsen the condition. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
