Can women with candidal vulvovaginitis have sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

I am a 38-year-old woman who has been feeling quite tired recently. I have noticed some discomfort in my body, and I'm wondering if it could be this condition. Could you please answer the following question: Can one have sexual intercourse with vaginal candidiasis?

Doctor's answer:

During the recurrence of candidal vaginitis, avoid sexual intercourse. This disease can be cross-transmitted to the partner through sexual activity. During treatment, pay attention to hygiene and avoid sexual activity. If both partners are infected, they should be treated together. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
