Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 32 years old and a homemaker. I have been experiencing some discomfort in my lower body recently. I got a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have candidiasis. He advised me to pay attention to personal hygiene. Hello, does candidiasis affect sexual life?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis affects sexual life. The main symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis are abnormal increase in vaginal discharge, external genital itching, and a bad odor. Intercourse may cause pain. Additionally, candidal vulvovaginitis can be transmitted to a partner through intercourse, so sexual activity should be avoided during treatment. Sexual activity may worsen the condition and affect the treatment outcome. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
