Patient's question:
I have a vaginal infection, and it's quite severe now. I've been taking medication for several days, but the discharge still feels particularly yellow. After taking the medicine for a few days, I haven't noticed any improvement in my condition. However, the night before last, I had sexual intercourse with my husband. What should I do about having sex during the treatment for vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of vaginitis, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. If sexual activity occurs, it may easily lead to a recurrence of vaginitis. Coitus can be resumed after the medication for vaginitis is stopped. During treatment, it is important to rest on schedule, avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise, and wear loose cotton underwear instead of leather or synthetic underwear. Underwear should be changed frequently. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial.
