Can I have sex if I have bacterial vaginosis?

Bacterial vaginitis is a disease that many women are familiar with. Most women have bacterial vaginitis, and this type of disease is prone to recurrence and is difficult to cure. So, can women have sex when they have bacterial vaginitis?

1. If the patient develops bacterial vaginitis, he or she must receive treatment immediately, and must not have sexual intercourse during the treatment period, because sexual intercourse may make the symptoms more severe, and bacterial vaginitis is also contagious. If sexual intercourse is carried out, cross infection will occur, which is harmful to women's health. Therefore, patients must refrain from sexual intercourse when they develop bacterial vaginitis.

2. Patients with bacterial vaginitis must refrain from sexual intercourse, but this does not mean that they must always refrain from sexual intercourse. However, during the treatment process, you need to be careful, because the disease is difficult to cure. You cannot have sexual intercourse without being cured, otherwise the disease will recur and will be difficult to cure for a long time.

3. If some of the symptoms of bacterial vaginitis disappear after one week of treatment, and the doctor's diagnosis indicates that the condition is under control, you should not be too optimistic. The patient should stop taking the medicine for two weeks before having sex, which is safer.

4. Patients with bacterial vaginitis are not allowed to have sexual intercourse during the illness, because the disease is contagious. If they have sexual intercourse during the treatment period, the disease may recur, which is harmful to their health.

Some patients do not have obvious symptoms after suffering from bacterial vaginitis, and will only be discovered when the symptoms have developed seriously. Therefore, it is very important to do regular gynecological examinations on a regular basis, so as to ensure early detection and early treatment. The following is a practical discussion on whether patients with bacterial vaginitis can have sexual intercourse:

Bacterial vaginitis is mainly caused by fungal infection, and the treatment course of bacterial vaginitis is generally about 10 days, but some patients may take about half a month. If you have sex during the illness, it will only aggravate the development of symptoms. Therefore, patients should refrain from having sex during the treatment of bacterial vaginitis or during the illness.

If bacterial vaginitis is completely cured, you can have sexual intercourse, but it is not recommended during the illness period. Even if you can have sex after the vaginitis is cured, the patient must pay attention to hygiene and clean the area before and after sex. Doing so will also prevent the recurrence of vaginitis. Therefore, you must pay attention to hygiene in your daily sexual life.

The main symptoms of bacterial vaginitis are increased vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, and the symptoms worsen after sexual intercourse. At the same time, the irritation of vaginal discharge will cause vulvar itching or a burning sensation. If the patient has these symptoms, he must go to the hospital for examination in time. Only by controlling the symptoms in time can the harm to the patient be minimized.

When treating bacterial vaginitis, you should choose appropriate antibiotics. Abuse of the drugs will only aggravate the symptoms. In addition, patients must pay attention to hygiene in daily life, clean their own underwear separately, and remember not to use too much special cleaning solution to clean the patient's private parts. If too much cleaning solution is used, it will destroy the acidic environment of the vagina. In addition, patients should pay attention to a lighter taste in their diet and avoid irritating and spicy foods.
