Patient's question:
Vaginal candidiasis, the doctor prescribed me two boxes of Terconazole tablets and many topical medications. He didn't mention that my husband should take anything. Later, I heard that this condition requires treatment for both partners. What should my husband take? Can he just take Terbinafine?Doctor's answer:
This disease can be transmitted to your husband, but it's not absolute. You can take metronidazole tablets orally, which usually resolves the issue. If there is also abnormal penile itching, you can buy PP powder from a pharmacy, dissolve it, and use it for washing. During treatment, avoid sexual activity. Sterilize underwear and towels before reuse to prevent cross-infection and prolonged recovery.Additionally, during the treatment of trichomoniasis, besides immediate treatment, the patient's diet and mental state are also crucial. It is essential to maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from trichomoniasis.
