Patient's question:
Hello, the doctor said I have candidal vulvovaginitis, but the test results did not show any candida. The cleanliness is III. Is this still candidal vulvovaginitis? What are the small red spots on my partner's glans?Duration and onset of symptoms: 7 days
Medical history: None
Additional question: The small red spots on the glans are neither raised nor sunken, and they disappear after washing. What could they be?
Doctor's answer:
??????Hello! Generally, if you have candidal vulvovaginitis, you may experience cottage cheese-like discharge, vaginal itching, and other symptoms, but this alone cannot confirm the diagnosis.You did not test positive for vaginal discharge, which could be due to a missed diagnosis, the absence of typical fungal characteristics in your discharge, or the possibility that you actually have bacterial vaginosis. None of these are cause for undue concern. There are now many topical medications available that can treat bacterial, fungal, and other types of vaginitis. It is recommended that you follow your doctor's prescribed medication, take it consistently, and pay attention to hygiene to prevent reinfection. I hope my response is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
