Can you have sex during the treatment of gynecological inflammation?

Patient's question:

The body is having problems again, with external itching, increased leukorrhea, and it looks like curd, with a foul odor. I am now experiencing great pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of my leukorrhea, and the diagnosis was gynecological inflammation. They prescribed topical medication, but my husband wants to have sex, and I am a bit worried. Can I have sex during the treatment for gynecological inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

From your description of symptoms, it should be considered a case of vaginitis. Based on the characteristics of vaginal discharge, it is likely a case of fungal vaginitis. It is necessary to actively use topical medications under the guidance of a doctor. During the course of topical medication treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, as vaginitis can easily be transmitted through sexual activity. Additionally, sexual intercourse may also worsen symptoms. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
