Can I have sex with a condom if I have cervicitis?

For patients with cervicitis, it is best not to have sex. Even if you wear a condom, it is easy to cause adverse stimulation. This is mainly because the penis and cervix will come into contact, which will cause the cervical symptoms to worsen and even cause ascending infection, easily inducing pelvic inflammatory disease or endometritis, etc. If you have cervicitis, you must receive good treatment in time and only wait until the disease is completely cured before having sex.

Cervicitis is common after childbirth, abortion or surgery that damages the cervix to varying degrees. Some patients do not have symptoms of acute cervicitis, but directly develop chronic cervicitis. The pathogens of cervicitis are mainly Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli and anaerobic bacteria.

Women with cervicitis cannot have sex. During sex, the penis and cervix are in direct contact, which will aggravate the condition of women with cervicitis, causing the spread of inflammation or causing ascending infection of the inflammation, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis and other diseases. Therefore, women with cervicitis are advised not to have sexual intercourse during the period of illness.

Patients with cervicitis generally experience increased vaginal discharge, which is sticky, smelly, and yellow in color. Most patients also have a large amount of sticky secretions at the cervical opening, and some even have bleeding. If they have sex at this time, it may cause multiple injuries to the cervix and the inflammation will become more and more serious.

In addition, patients cannot have sexual intercourse during treatment, and should abstain from sexual intercourse for 1-2 months after treatment of cervicitis. This is because after treatment of the cervix, a layer of inflamed scab on the surface will fall off, and new tissue will slowly grow out. During the tissue repair process, if sexual intercourse is performed, the new wound on the cervix will be worn or even bleed, affecting the efficacy and may also cause recurrence.

The above is the relevant introduction about cervicitis. It is recommended that patients with cervicitis do not have sex during treatment. They should also pay attention to hygiene when having sex after treatment to avoid recurrence of cervicitis.
