How long should one wait to resume sexual activity after taking medication for pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patient's question:

I have pelvic inflammatory disease and trichomoniasis. I have been receiving injections for a week and applying medication to the groin for 7 days. How much longer before I can have sexual intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it is best not to have sexual intercourse during the treatment period, otherwise it may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. However, if it is not during medication, you can occasionally have sexual activity, but it is essential to control the frequency. Additionally, it is crucial to pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity. Vaginal inflammation requires continuous treatment for three menstrual cycles. Three consecutive tests before and after menstruation with normal vaginal discharge indicate recovery. Moreover, underwear, bed sheets, etc., should be exposed to sunlight and boiled to sterilize, otherwise it is easy to relapse.
Patients with pelvic inflammation can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding professional treatment. In daily diet, it is necessary to have a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
