Can I have sex with pelvic inflammatory disease?

There are many women suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease in daily life. Because this gynecological disease can cause pelvic congestion, and sexual intercourse will aggravate the symptoms, some patients immediately adopt abstinence measures after diagnosis. But for some patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, the treatment time may sometimes be as long as two years, and the long-term inability to have sex is also a threat to the relationship between husband and wife. Can I not have sex if I have pelvic inflammatory disease?

When pelvic inflammatory disease is in the acute stage, it is best not to have sexual intercourse. If the condition can be controlled in a good state without the occurrence of acute symptoms, sexual intercourse can be carried out properly. However, some common problems should be solved during sexual intercourse to prevent the condition from getting worse or recurring.

What should patients with pelvic inflammatory disease pay attention to during sex?

1. Do a good job of daily cleaning

Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease must clean their private parts before and after intercourse. Because it is very easy for the reproductive organs to be infected during sexual intercourse and cause pelvic inflammatory disease to worsen, condoms should be worn during sexual intercourse, and the reproductive organs should be cleaned before and after sexual intercourse, which can reduce the infection of bacterial inflammation and prevent pathogens from entering and causing various gynecological diseases.

2. You can have sex only when your condition is stable

After being diagnosed, patients need to follow the doctor's advice and receive relevant treatment to stabilize their condition. Women with pelvic inflammatory disease must be careful to have sexual intercourse, and can only do so when their condition is stable. They should pay attention to whether symptoms such as fever and lower abdominal pain have been alleviated or disappeared, and there is no significant abnormality in secretions, which means their condition is stable, and they can have sexual intercourse at this stage.

3. Couples should not have too much sex

Patients who have sex should avoid excessive stimulation of the lower body during sex. Women with pelvic inflammatory disease should not have excessive sexual intercourse, as this can easily cause excessive congestion in the pelvis and aggravate the inflammation.
