Patient's question:
I have candidiasis, and have been treated for three months. However, during this period, I continued to have sexual activity with my boyfriend. Last week, while still undergoing treatment, I had intercourse with my boyfriend and suddenly noticed bleeding spots in my vagina. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to explain this issue for you, based on your description of the condition. Candidal vulvovaginitis, with symptoms of itching and pain after sexual activity. It is recommended that sexual partners also receive treatment simultaneously. Avoid sexual activity during the treatment period to prevent cross-infection. You can use baking soda water to rinse the external genital area and take oral tablets. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using indiscriminate medications to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. I hope the answer above can assist you. Thank you.
