Can I have sex with a condom three weeks after taking medication for bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

Bacterial vaginosis: Use vaginal suppositories for 6 days, followed by gel treatment for one week. Can you have intercourse with a condom after 3 weeks?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if the vaginitis heals on its own, then you can have intercourse. If you have no discomfort or feel that the vaginitis has improved, you can have intercourse with a condom, but avoid it if it hasn't healed on its own. In addition to symptomatic treatment, bacterial vaginosis patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
