How long should I avoid sex for pelvic inflammatory disease?

Usually pelvic inflammatory disease requires abstention from sexual intercourse for about a month.

In general, pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by bacterial infection, viral infection and other reasons, and is often accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharge. Usually, patients with milder conditions will basically get their condition under control after 7-14 days of antibiotic treatment, achieving a cure, so they can have sex only after they are completely cured. For more serious patients, drug treatment alone is less effective, and generally requires physical therapy such as laser and shortwave, so the healing time will be relatively longer, which may take about 1 month. And patients who undergo surgical treatment may need 2-3 months to recover, so the prohibition of sex is longer. Sexual intercourse during pelvic inflammatory disease will have adverse effects on sexual partners, and strenuous exercise and excessive fatigue will reduce immunity, which is not conducive to recovery.

Patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and eating habits in their daily lives to promote physical recovery. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
