Q. I have pink eye. Can I have sex?
Hi doctor,
I have pink eye. Can I have sex with my wife as we are trying for pregnancy? Please suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Probably you have conjunctivitis and that is a communicable disease.
- So, I would not advise you get intimate with your wife for next 2-3 days till you get better.

|Hi doctor,
I am under medical treatment for conjunctivitis for the past 5 days. Symptoms have reduced, but not cured completely. Still is it contagious?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- It is difficult to say as the inflammation must have been subsided by now, but the infection might be there.
- Since you are planning to have a baby, I would advise you to avoid intimacy for a day or two more.
- If your wife gets pregnant and catches the infection, she would have to undergo medicine exposure.
