How long after taking gynecological medicine can I have sex?

There are many reasons for taking gynecological medications. Whether you can have sex during the period of taking gynecological medications depends on the actual condition of the patient. If gynecological medication is used due to pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis or cervicitis, the main symptoms are lower abdominal distension and pain, back pain, increased female secretions, vulvar itching and discomfort, irregular bleeding and other symptoms. At this time, oral antibiotics or various suppositories are mostly used for vaginal medication. Some Trichomonas vaginitis requires couples to be treated separately. During the period of gynecological medication, it is absolutely forbidden to have sex. Sexual intercourse will cause the pelvic congestion to increase, making the lower abdominal pain symptoms more obvious, and may also cause cervicitis or vaginitis to develop and cause pelvic inflammation. If a woman is taking gynecological medication due to uterine ovarian chocolate cysts or adenomyosis, and it is not her menstrual period, she can arrange sexual intercourse normally. For women with irregular menstruation, they can have sex during the treatment period, even during their non-menstrual period.

Generally speaking, we recommend waiting at least one week after a gynecological examination before having sex. This is because a gynecological examination uses a speculum to dilate the vagina to see if there are any abnormalities and to perform a bimanual examination, which causes slight damage to the cervical mucosa. If you choose to have sex too early, it is easy to cause gynecological infections, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or endometritis. In addition, if there is inflammation, bleeding, etc., it depends on the specific situation. You will have to wait longer before having sex after the gynecological examination.

Generally, you should not have sex for three days before a routine physical examination, and you can go for a routine physical examination without washing or applying medicine for 24 hours. If there are no other abnormalities after the routine physical examination, simple tests such as taking a few secretions for testing are not a big problem and you can have sex after the test. Generally, if a gynecological examination involves taking pathological samples and vaginal bleeding is caused, sexual intercourse can only be performed after the bleeding has been cleaned and anti-inflammatory drugs have been taken.

If a puncture biopsy is performed, sexual intercourse can usually be resumed two weeks later. If you do some gynecological examinations, for example, if a cyst is removed, it will take a longer time, usually one month before you can have sex. If you have a gynecological examination, such as collecting specimens for cervical lesion screening and biopsy, you can only have sex after two weeks. It is just a routine physical examination without any treatment, as long as the physical examination does not cause bleeding, you can have sex after the physical examination, there will be no impact.
