Patient's question:
I have recently taken the medication prescribed by my doctor and undergone vaginal medication, which has shown significant improvement. If it gets better, will I be able to be together with my husband when he comes back from a distant place? Does he need to get a urine discharge test first to ensure there is no infection before we can be together? Is it necessary to use condoms when we are together? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Candida vaginitis is easily contagious, can be transmitted through sexual activity, tends to recur, and sexual partners may also be infected. It is important to get a clear diagnosis and check if it is indeed candidal vaginitis. Blood tests are not suitable for this condition. We recommend conducting a secretion test to accurately diagnose the cause. The occurrence of vaginitis not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
