Can I have sex if I have fungal inflammation?

Gynecological inflammation in women is relatively common and very serious. Once it occurs, it must be treated promptly. It can be treated with medication, and of course, surgery can also be used. Fungal inflammation is a serious gynecological disease in women and can usually be treated with medication. But this kind of inflammation should affect sexual intercourse. Is it possible to have sexual intercourse when suffering from fungal inflammation?

During the treatment of candidal vaginitis, women should avoid sexual intercourse. Because if you have sex during treatment, it will irritate the vagina and cause congestion of the vaginal tissue, which will aggravate the inflammation and make the inflammatory infection more difficult to treat. Some drugs for treating candidal vaginitis contain oil, which can cause the condom to fall off and transmit the fungus to your partner, leading to cross infection. Therefore, patients must have sex only after the candidal vaginitis is cured. They cannot have sex during treatment, as this can easily aggravate the condition and cause other gynecological diseases.

What should I pay attention to during the treatment of candidal vaginitis?

1. Be careful not to use antibiotics frequently. Because women usually take antibiotics orally whenever they have any inflammation in their bodies, the balance of vaginal flora is disrupted, allowing bacteria to invade and multiply in large numbers, causing recurrence of the disease. Therefore, patients should take antibiotics less often in normal times. If they must take them, they should take antifungal drugs at the same time as antibiotics for prevention.

2. Note that husband and wife should receive treatment at the same time. Many patients with candidal vaginitis treat themselves because they think it is a gynecological disease and has nothing to do with men. Vaginal candidiasis is a disease that can be transmitted through sexual intercourse and can transmit the bacteria to men. Therefore, when women are treating candidal vaginitis, their sexual partners should also be treated together to prevent them from contracting candidal vaginitis again due to sexual intercourse after they have recovered from the disease, and to avoid the recurrence of candidal vaginitis.

3. Pay attention to hygiene. Some patients do not pay much attention to hygiene in their daily lives, such as washing underwear and socks together and using public toilets. These are all practices that allow bacteria to directly invade. For example, socks themselves have bacteria. If you wash them with underwear, the underwear will also be attached to bacteria. Using a public toilet makes it easier for bacteria attached to the toilet to directly invade the vagina, making the disease worse. Therefore, getting enough rest and maintaining personal hygiene are the most important things patients with candidal vaginitis need to pay attention to.
