Patient's question:
I have a cousin 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 she had candidiasis. Hello, can candidiasis cause urethritis or prostatitis in men?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis in women can lead to male candidal urethritis or prostatitis, as well as male candidal balanitis. Therefore, sexual activity should be avoided during a woman's vaginal candidiasis, 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.
