Women with mycosis vaginalis should not usually have intercourse. Because women with mycosis vaginalis will have leucorrhea, burning and tingling at the vaginal opening, and the vaginal wall and opening may be congested and red, intercourse is likely to cause pain at the vaginal opening and may aggravate the inflammation. If a woman has mycobacterial infection, if she has intercourse without taking any protective measures, it may also lead to mycobacterial infection in men, which may cause local inflammation of the glans.
