What should I do if I have sex during medication?

For most women, gynecological diseases are nothing more than a nightmare. How many stars and celebrities have passed away due to various gynecological diseases. Among the many gynecological diseases, the most common one is vaginitis. If you get the disease, you must treat it. Many of these diseases are treated with topical medications, which have an anti-inflammatory effect through local wiping. In real life, there are always various reasons that may hinder treatment, such as sexual intercourse between couples. Next, let’s take a look at what follow-up measures should be taken after having sex during medication.

Vaginitis is a relatively common gynecological disease. You should pay attention to your hygiene habits, clean the perineum in time after sex, wear loose and breathable underwear, and avoid damage to the cervical endometrium caused by unclean sexual intercourse and miscarriage.

If there is inflammation, it is not suitable to have sex during the treatment period. If you have sex, it may affect the treatment effect, but it cannot be guaranteed that there will be an impact. You can observe it first and don't worry. It is recommended to observe first to see if there are any obvious abnormal symptoms. If not, it means there is no impact. However, it is better to avoid having sex as much as possible during the drug treatment, and resume sexual life after recovery.

Vaginal suppositories are generally used to treat vaginitis itself or cervical lesions. Sexual intercourse during the time of drug treatment may affect the treatment effect and aggravate the condition. It is recommended that you do not have sexual intercourse during treatment, but if you have already had sexual intercourse, there is no better way. You can only observe the situation further and have regular check-ups.

On the one hand, when a couple has sex, repeated friction during sexual intercourse can cause congestion in the vagina, leading to increased inflammation; on the other hand, sexual intercourse can transmit pathogens from the female vagina to the male, leading to cross-infection and forming a vicious circle.

Experts explain that the pathogens of female vaginitis can invade the male urethra during sexual intercourse. Although men infected with the pathogens generally have no obvious symptoms, they can infect their female friends again during the next sexual intercourse.

Therefore, even if a woman has been cured of vaginitis, she will be re-infected. This is the reason why vaginitis recurs. Therefore, it is generally required that husband and wife be treated together to achieve effective treatment results.

Women suffering from vaginitis should refrain from having sex for the sake of their own health and that of their spouses. You cannot have sex directly after the treatment. You should wait until the next menstruation for a recheck. You can only have sex if the recheck result is negative and there is no visible inflammation to the naked eye.

In addition, there are five reasons why vaginitis cannot be cured for a long time :

1. Staying up late to work overtime and having an unhealthy nightlife

2. Soap, antibiotics, and outdated cleaning methods

3. Unclean sex life and neglected active protection

4. Insufficient medication course and insufficient attention to treatment

5. Indiscriminate use of drugs and deliberate delay of the disease make vaginitis difficult to cure.
