Patient's question:
I had intercourse with my husband two days ago and both of us felt itchy and painful in the groin area. I think I might have contracted candidiasis, and my husband might have infected me. I am currently taking fluconazole and using miconazole nitrate suppositories and Jie'eryin liquid. Hello, can my husband take fluconazole and use Jie'eryin liquid? If not, how should he use the medication? Thank you, urgent!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended that you and your husband carefully review the diagnosis before selecting a treatment plan. Common medications for candidal vulvovaginitis include nystatin suppositories, one suppository per night (10,000 units), inserted deep into the vagina, with a 10-day course. Additionally, you can take Nizoral tablets for one week. After the course is completed, it is necessary to return to the hospital for a follow-up examination, and the choice must involve dedicated medication use. While paying attention to maintaining external genital hygiene, your husband should clean the penis before sexual activity. Treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis can be approached with either purely Western medicine or a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
