Patient's question:
Will I get infected by having sex with a girlfriend who has candidiasis vaginitis? I want to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, but I don't know which aspects to check.Doctor's answer:
Candida can be transmitted through sexual contact. No need for a thorough examination. It is recommended to use condoms to effectively prevent cross-transmission. You can use oral and topical medications prescribed by your girlfriend. Patients with candidal vulvovaginitis can, while understanding the principle of symptomatic treatment, also use home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it is necessary to maintain a proper diet and avoid irritating foods.
