Patient's question:
I have candidiasis, about 3 years old, it occasionally flares up. Will it be transmitted to my boyfriend? If infected, what are the symptoms in males? Can candidiasis be transmitted?Doctor's answer:
Moldy vaginitis, which may be infected, is recommended to use alkaline solutions such as 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to wash the external genitalia and vagina, changing the vaginal acid-base balance to make it more favorable for mold growth. After washing, use nystatin tablets or Daktarin suppositories to insert into the vagina, and apply 3% miconazole ointment or Pristinex ointment to the external genitalia for better results.In addition to treating vaginitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
