How long after getting a fungal vaginal infection can you have sex?

Patient's question:

My wife was carefully diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis on August 7th of this year and has been treated for more than two months. It's now November 10th, and she has recovered. I don't know how long it takes after getting candidal vulvovaginitis before she can have sex. I'm a bit impatient now. How long will it take for her to fully recover?

Doctor's answer:

Candidal vulvovaginitis tends to recur easily. Generally, sexual activity can be resumed after about three months. Your wife has recovered, so in this case, sexual activity can basically be resumed. It is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene, rinse the external genitalia with clean water daily, change your underwear and pants daily, and soak your feet in hot water every night. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of spicy foods. Pay attention to preventing colds, wear more clothes, and avoid getting cold. In addition, during the treatment of vaginitis, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude at all times.
