Patient's question:
I have a fungal vaginal infection, and I have been taking medication for a while. However, I heard from my friends that treating it together with my partner would be better, as it would reduce the chances of recurrence. I would like to know how to treat fungal vaginal infection together with a partner.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis should be treated by both partners. Continuous treatment for three menstrual cycles is required. Normal vaginal discharge should be rechecked three times before and after menstruation to confirm cure. Underwear, bed sheets, and other items should be exposed to sunlight and boiled to sterilize them, otherwise, it is easy for the condition to recur. Since candidal infection can be transmitted between partners through sexual activity, vaginitis poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to self-care, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid foods.
