Does gynecological diseases affect sexual life?

Patient's question:

The past two years, I had an appendage cyst and didn't have surgery, but took medication to resolve it myself. After that, I had some fungal vaginitis with redness, swelling, and itching, which was worse in the summer and occasionally occurred. Now, during sexual activity, it hurts when it touches the edges, and it's too painful to insert. Is it related to gynecological problems?

Doctor's answer:

Now the pain during sexual life is severe, which is related to the occurrence of candidal vaginitis. Vaginal inflammation can cause redness and swelling of the vaginal lining. It is recommended to use antifungal medication, and vaginal suppositories are better. If the pain during sexual life is severe now, it is recommended to temporarily avoid sexual activity. During medication, sexual intercourse should also be avoided. Avoid spicy foods. Women with gynecological diseases can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while understanding and treating the symptoms. In daily diet, it is essential to avoid being overly hungry or full, and never overeat.
