The consequences of intercourse after taking suppositories

Vaginal suppositories are generally used to treat vaginitis, and this method has very good results. Because the vagina is an important part of sexual intercourse, you cannot have sex immediately after the insertion of the medicine. However, some people have sex during the insertion of the medicine before the disease is cured, fearing that it will have a great impact on the body. So, what are the consequences of having sex after taking suppositories?

Generally, you should not have sexual intercourse after vaginal suppository, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the drug. It will not have any adverse effects on your body. Keep a good mood and don't have any psychological concerns.

Vaginal suppository precautions:

First of all, you should listen carefully to the doctor when you see him, and ask questions promptly if you don't understand something;

Second, read the instructions for use of the medicine carefully. If you have any questions, contact your doctor in time.

Third, vaginal suppositories are usually used at night, so that the drug can be fully decomposed during sleep and directly act on the local area. If used during the day, the drug is likely to flow out of the vagina, which will not only contaminate the underwear, but also prevent the drug from fully contacting the lesion site.

Fourth, be sure to persist in treatment. If you are taking suppositories due to vaginitis or cervicitis, you should strive for a complete cure. After treatment, you should still follow the doctor's advice to go to the hospital for a follow-up check. You cannot stop the treatment just because the symptoms have eased. If it is not completely cured, it will easily relapse, and the bacteria will become resistant to the drugs, affecting the efficacy.

Fifth, some patients don’t understand why others don’t do vaginal douching, but they have to? In fact, for patients with excessive leucorrhea, directly inserting the medicine will affect the efficacy, so the doctor will recommend flushing first to reduce the secretions before inserting the medicine. This flushing is best done in a hospital.

Sixth, some suppositories come with tampons, which must be removed promptly and not left in for too long.

Seventh, during the period of suppository, keep the vulva clean and dry, wear cotton breathable underwear, and change it daily. If it is trichomoniasis, candidal vaginitis, etc., not only should the couple treat it together, but they should also pay attention to disinfecting their underwear every day.

Eighth, it is best not to have sexual intercourse during suppository treatment, and suppositories should be stopped during menstruation.
