Patient's question:
A while ago, something was a bit abnormal with my lower body. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as candidiasis. After hearing the treatment methods the doctor mentioned, I felt it was quite troublesome. I asked how to treat the male partner at the same time when getting candidiasis.Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis, also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis, is a common gynecological disease, a reproductive organ disease caused by a fungal infection called Candida albicans. Candida albicans normally lives on the skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract, and other organs of the human body. When the body's resistance decreases, Candida albicans multiplies, and when it exceeds a certain amount, the human body becomes ill. Therefore, Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen. When the glycogen in the vaginal epithelial cells of women increases and the acidity increases, Candida albicans can cause vulvovaginal candidiasis. This disease can be transmitted sexually. When a woman with a Candida positive male has sexual contact again, the infection rate for men who have sexual contact with women suffering from vulvovaginal candidiasis is 80%. About half of the people will be infected.
