Patient's question:
[Condition Description: If a woman has candidiasis (yeast infection), can it be transmitted? Is candidiasis a sexually transmitted disease? If the woman has a candidiasis issue, would a man get infected if he has sex with her while using a condom?History of Treatment and Effect: Just want to learn more!
Help Needed: Hope to gain a better understanding.]
Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis can be transmitted through sexual activity, which is why both partners need to be treated when the female is infected. It is recommended to use Dink effervescent tablets. After the patient cleans the external genitalia each night, insert one Dink terbinafine hydrochloride vaginal effervescent tablet into the posterior fornix of the vagina before going to bed. A course of treatment lasts for one week. During the day, Dink terbinafine hydrochloride spray can be used to spray on underwear to kill potential fungi. Due to the risk of cross-infection, it is important to emphasize "treatment for both partners" when treating VVC. Men can soak Dink effervescent tablets in warm water and use them to clean the external genitalia. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment, pay close attention to hygiene, and continue taking medication for 2-3 days after symptoms disappear to prevent recurrence.
