Can I have sex with pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. If it is acute pelvic inflammatory disease, it is best not to have sex. At this time, the onset is more rapid, and timely treatment and conditioning must be carried out to avoid worsening of the symptoms. If it is chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, it also depends on the situation. You can have sex only when the disease is well controlled, but you should also be careful not to have sex too frequently, and the movements should be as gentle as possible, especially taking protective measures.

The most painful thing about chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is the word "slow". Chronic inflammation requires long-term treatment to be completely "eliminated". However, many female patients have reported that the treatment period is so long that if they cannot have sex, problems will arise at home. So, can patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease have sex?

Experts point out that when pelvic inflammatory disease is in the acute stage, sexual intercourse is absolutely not allowed, but when the disease is well controlled and there is no discomfort such as fever and pain, sexual life can be arranged appropriately. In addition, patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should pay attention to the following points when having sex.

1. You can have sex only when your condition is well controlled

How can we determine whether the disease is well controlled? First, we should pay attention to whether the recent symptoms such as fever, lower abdominal and lumbosacral pain are obvious. If they are mild or the symptoms have almost disappeared, the condition is stable. Secondly, observe whether the leucorrhea is normal. White or transparent, no odor, and moderate in amount are good. Those with yellow or green, bloody leucorrhea or kelp odor should not have sexual intercourse. In addition, you should not have sex during the vaginal suppository period, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine.

2. Don’t be too aggressive during sex

Even if the condition has improved, it does not mean that it has been cured. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are still ill and should not have too intense sex. The strength should be appropriate, the movements should be gentle, the foreplay should be sufficient, and positions such as side position and doggy style are more suitable.

3. Don’t forget to use condoms and make sure you clean thoroughly

Since the disease has not been cured and there is still a possibility of inflammation, it is best for the man to use a condom during sexual intercourse. Before and after intercourse, both parties should clean their genitals. If the man has a long foreskin, he should wash it thoroughly to avoid cross infection.
