Does the male partner need to wash when having candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

My wife was recently diagnosed with candidiasis (yeast infection) after a thorough examination, but it's not very serious. I want to ask the doctor, if the female partner has candidiasis, how should the male partner need to clean himself? Please help clarify this for me. Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

The recommended diagnosis is candidiasis of the vagina, and treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. The liquid does not have a disinfectant effect, so it cannot be used as a medication for treating candidiasis of the vagina. Male genitalia are different from female genitalia and are less prone to transmission, so it is recommended that the male partner be tested first. If there is an infection, treatment can be administered together. If not, treatment may not be necessary. For detailed conditions, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
