Should I use a condom for sexual intercourse with a fungal vaginal infection?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can you please tell me if having sex with a condom is effective for candidiasis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is not acceptable in this situation. It is best to prohibit cohabitation to avoid worsening the condition. You can try using topical gynecological washes and suppositories, combined with oral antifungal medication. It is essential to take the medication regularly and avoid cohabitation during treatment. It is highly recommended that both partners receive treatment. Drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department at the hospital for a leukorrhea examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
