Can candidiasis be transmitted to men?

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 candidiasis (yeast infection) be transmitted to men?

Doctor's answer:

It could be a fungal vaginitis. It is recommended to use clortrimazole, or apply topical creams or ointments. Pay attention to personal hygiene, clean the external genitalia daily, and change underwear. During menstruation, change sanitary pads frequently to avoid the rapid reproduction of bacteria.
It may be related to dysmenorrhea, caused by physical weakness and blood stasis. It is recommended to take traditional Chinese medicine such as Yuanhu Zhizhong Pian and Jinkui Shenqi Wan for regulation. Rest properly, keep warm, and avoid cold food and drinks.
