Will wearing a condom still transmit vaginitis to the male?

Patient's question:

Female, 31 years old, I have vaginitis, itchy down there very badly, especially itchy every morning. I have already gone to the hospital and been prescribed oral medication. At first it was effective, but then it started itching again. Will using a condom still transmit vaginitis to the male?

Doctor's answer:

Women with vaginitis generally have a relatively low risk of transmitting the infection to men when using condoms throughout the process. However, it is best to avoid sexual activity temporarily if you have vaginitis to prevent worsening the condition. Consider getting a routine vaginal discharge test first. If vaginitis is confirmed, medications such as Clotrimazole Suppositories can be used for treatment. During medication, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, and hygiene should be maintained with frequent cleaning. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
