Patient's question:
I found a small amount of Candida in the vagina, should my husband take medication too?Doctor's answer:
Candida is a single-celled fungus that exists in various parts of the human body, such as the skin, mucous membranes, and vagina in healthy individuals. Under certain conditions, Candida can invade human tissues and cause inflammation. Infections of the female reproductive tract often affect the vagina, leading to inflammation of the external genital skin and mucous membranes, which is referred to as vulvovaginal candidiasis. In the past, it was also known as candidal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, or mold vaginitis.If it is mold vaginitis, medication such as nystatin suppositories may be required for treatment. The male partner may also need treatment if necessary. It is recommended to visit a gynecological department of a hospital to get a clear diagnosis and take targeted treatment measures. Avoid unnecessary anxiety, as it will not be helpful.
