Patient's question:
I have candidal vulvovaginitis, which was transmitted during sexual intercourse during my menstrual period. If my husband doesn't treat it, is it okay? Will I get infected?Doctor's answer:
Both partners should seek treatment simultaneously. Intercourse during menstruation is strictly prohibited. Engaging in sexual activity during this period can easily lead to inflammation or even intrauterine infection. It is recommended to pay attention to sexual hygiene, with one to two sexual encounters per week being ideal. Sexual activity is strictly forbidden during menstruation and during treatment. For patients, if the condition of candidal vulvovaginitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, the condition may recur. Patients should also maintain a positive mood.
