Patient's question:
[Condition Description: Both husband and wife have experienced itching in the external genitalia or vaginal area for two to three days, accompanied by white, chunky discharge.History of Treatment and Effectiveness: No treatment has been administered; only hot water has been used for cleaning.
Help Desired: Cause of the condition and treatment suggestions]
Doctor's answer:
[Condition Analysis: Based on your description, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Opinion Suggestions: It is recommended to check a routine vaginal discharge test. Vaginal itching and white, curd-like discharge are most likely symptoms of candidiasis (yeast infection). Vaginal infections are contagious, so your partner may also have symptoms. During the illness, sexual activity should be avoided. Treatment requires both partners to be treated simultaneously, with oral antibiotics for the female and topical medication for the vagina. Both partners' underwear should be washed and exposed to sunlight for disinfection.
