Patient's question:
I have been divorced from my husband for 10 years, and we are still very affectionate. We have some intimate encounters every week. Recently, my vagina has been itchy and I have had excessive discharge. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have vaginitis and need treatment. However, my husband still wants to have sex these days. Can I have a sexual relationship during vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
You should not engage in sexual activity. The pathogens in the vagina can sometimes penetrate the male urethra, and the male may often be asymptomatic during transmission, making it easily overlooked. After the female is cured, the infection can be transmitted back to her through sexual intercourse. Therefore, during the treatment of vaginal inflammation in the female, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. On the one hand, this can prevent friction during intercourse from causing vaginal congestion and further exacerbating inflammation. On the other hand, it can prevent cross-infection and create a recurring cycle.In addition, during the treatment of vaginal inflammation, in addition to immediate medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginal inflammation.
