Is it okay to have sex with a girlfriend if you have penile inflammation?

Patient's question:

Is it okay to have sex with a penile inflammation and will it affect my girlfriend...

Doctor's answer:

Hello, men with genital inflammation should avoid sexual activity to prevent the infection from spreading to their female partner, which could lead to genital infection in women. If the condition is severe, it may even result in infertility.
Recommendation: Men should promptly get tested to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. During this period, it's advisable to reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, avoid smoking and alcohol, and pay attention to genital hygiene.
