Can candidiasis be transmitted?

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.
