How to properly handle post-coital bleeding

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:
Hello, I have experienced bleeding after intercourse three times. I don’t know if it’s because it was too intense, or if it could be due to candidiasis. Additionally, if it’s not fully treated, can I still have sexual intercourse with my partner? How can I know if it has been cured? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, candidal vaginitis should not cause bleeding. It may be caused by cervical inflammation or cervical erosion. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for relevant cervical examinations to confirm the diagnosis, and then receive symptomatic treatment. It is advisable to take a moderate amount of antibiotics, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Change your underwear frequently and choose loose cotton underwear. Daily care of the private area is also important. When washing the external genitalia, it is more suitable to use a female care liquid with a pH 4 weakly acidic formula. As for vaginal irrigation, once a week is sufficient to avoid disrupting the bacterial flora and causing bacterial infections.
