Patient's question:
The other day, my girlfriend carefully discovered she had candidiasis of the vagina. Yesterday, after having sex, she went to the toilet to urinate and felt a slight stinging sensation at the urethral opening. This is my first time encountering this, so I'm not very familiar with it either. How should we deal with cross-infection of candidiasis of the vagina?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis can be transmitted through sexual contact, and your current symptoms show signs of being contagious, with indications of urethritis or prostatitis. It is recommended for safety reasons that you seek diagnosis from a specialized hospital. Additionally, during the treatment of vulvovaginitis, timely treatment is crucial, but the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also very important. It is essential to prevent excessive mental tension and worry to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vulvovaginitis.
