Can I have sex if I have Trichomonas vaginitis?

Pay attention to identifying the pathogenic bacteria and choosing appropriate medicines: Female patients must go to the hospital for examination so that they can distinguish between trichomoniasis, fungal infection or bacterial infection. Otherwise, it is easy to cause misdiagnosis and affect the formulation of treatment plans. In addition, the doctor will also fully understand your physical condition to avoid side effects of drugs.

Pay attention to personal hygiene and enhance the body's self-healing ability: The hygiene of the female private parts is very important, but it does not mean that you can use some alkaline soaps or lotions to clean them, because this will destroy the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina, making it more likely for bacteria to invade. Patients can wash with clean water and change underwear frequently.

Pay attention to nutritional supplements and do not eat irritating foods: If the patient eats spicy food after being ill, it will aggravate the itching reaction. Pay attention to replenishing water, protein and vitamins, etc. In addition, do not eat seafood and beef and mutton for the time being, so as not to affect the recovery speed!
