Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, based on your description, it is not advisable to have sexual intercourse during the treatment of cervical erosion. Sexual activity may affect the treatment outcome, irritate the cervix, and lead to suboptimal results from previous medication. Additionally, candidal vulvovaginitis is a contagious inflammation. It is recommended that your partner also undergoes examination and treatment while you are being treated, even if he shows no symptoms, as he may still be infected.Recommendations: Cervical erosion requires follow-up treatment before sexual intercourse is allowed. For candidal vulvovaginitis, sexual intercourse should only be resumed after three consecutive negative follow-up results confirm recovery. Otherwise, cross-infection may occur, rendering previous medication ineffective and wasting both time and money. Therefore, it is advised that you avoid sexual intercourse until you have fully recovered to prevent further interference with treatment.
Wishing you health and happiness!
