Patient's question:
I have an aunt who isn't very particular about hygiene in her sexual life. She has had several sexual partners. Three months ago, she felt itchy in her vagina and had yellow discharge. Besides the odor, an examination at the hospital revealed that she had candidiasis of the vagina. Hello, does candidiasis of the vagina lead to urethritis or prostatitis in men?Doctor's answer:
A female's candidal vulvovaginitis can lead to male candidal urethritis or prostatitis, as well as male candidal balanitis. Therefore, during a female's candidal vulvovaginitis, sexual activity should be avoided, and active antifungal treatment is necessary. Otherwise, it can affect the health of both partners. Additionally, both partners should be treated together. During treatment, drink plenty of warm water, maintain a light diet, practice good personal hygiene, and change underwear frequently.
