When is it safe to have sex after treating vaginitis?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? When can I have sex after treating vaginitis?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis should not involve sexual activity during the treatment process. Reducing sexual activity helps prevent infection recurrence, and medication should be used promptly along with oral medication. Generally, sexual activity can be resumed one month later.
Hello, in this case, you can first use metronidazole injection to rinse the vagina. Typically, this is done for 7–15 days continuously after the menstrual period. Insert 2 tablets of nystatin into the deep vagina each day, apply nystatin ointment to the external genitalia, and continue for 3 months. Sexual activity should be avoided during treatment. Maintain good hygiene habits and follow a scientific diet for nourishment.
