Patient's question:
Three months ago, I started experiencing inexplicable itching downstairs, along with a strange odor. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said I had a fungal vaginal infection. If I have a fungal vaginal infection, does that mean my husband has it too? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is contagious. If you are experiencing severe symptoms now, your husband might be infected as well. However, if your body's resistance is strong, it's not a problem. The main thing is to check if there are any symptoms now, mainly whether you feel uncomfortable. Don't be nervous. Pay attention to hygiene during this period. You need to cooperate with medication for timely treatment.There are several methods for treating vaginitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach will differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
