Patient's question:
Doctor, my sister has candidal vulvovaginitis, but she got married recently. Yesterday, she asked me how she could have sexual intercourse with this condition, and I'm not very clear about this question. I would like to understand if it is possible to have sexual intercourse with candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis, it is absolutely essential not to have sexual intercourse, as it may lead to cross-infection. The treatment course for candidal vulvovaginitis is often one week. Within this week, topical clotrimazole vaginal tablets can be used for treatment. For severe symptoms, oral fluconazole dispersible tablets can be taken to completely eliminate the mold in the body. If sexual intercourse occurs in the short term, there is a possibility of recurrence of cross-infection, which may lead to balanitis.
