Patient's question:
Doctors, hello. I have candidiasis of the vagina. Last month, when I had sex with my husband without taking precautions, I infected him with it. I would like to ask. What is the name of candidiasis infection in men?Doctor's answer:
Males can suffer from fungal infections, which can be referred to as fungal infections of the penis or fungal infections of the male reproductive organs. When a close family member has a fungal infection, it can be transmitted to the partner during sexual intercourse, leading to symptoms such as itching, white curd-like discharge, and redness of the penis. After contracting a fungal infection, both partners need to undergo scientific treatment. It is not advisable to randomly buy medication and stop taking it once symptoms stabilize, as this can easily lead to recurring relief of the condition.
