How should vaginal infections be treated with medication?

Patient's question:

I carefully checked for candidiasis of the vagina and had sex with my husband after which he had redness of the glans penis and some small white spots on the third day. Is he also infected? What treatment is needed?

Doctor's answer:

Candidiasis is very easy to transmit to your husband, so you should temporarily avoid sexual activity for now. It is recommended to use miconazole suppositories for vaginal insertion, and your husband should also take nystatin tablets for treatment. Do you understand? There are several treatment methods for vaginal infections, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods used may also differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
