Patient's question:
Does vaginal inflammation in women who live together interfere with men's health?Doctor's answer:
Infection in the perineum is transmitted through sexual activity, leading to mutual transmission. Daily attention should be paid to the hygiene of sexual life, and the cleanliness of the genital area should be noted before and after. It is recommended to use Baofukang (a traditional Chinese medicine), which promotes qi, breaks blood stasis, and nourishes muscles and blood. It is used for leucorrhea caused by dampness-heat and blood stasis, characterized by excessive, yellow discharge and occasional itching in the perineum; as well as for vaginal infections like candidiasis with similar symptoms. Daily attention should be paid to changing underwear frequently and moderately cleaning the perineum with warm water. If the condition of vaginal infection is severe, it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
