Can you have intercourse with a condom if you have a fungal vaginal infection?

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 cold drafts. Can candidiasis (yeast infection) be treated with condoms during intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is considered to be candidiasis. A routine vaginal discharge test can help with diagnosis. Then, you can use sodium bicarbonate solution to rinse the vagina and use Daktarin suppositories or clotrimazole suppositories for vaginal treatment. It is best for both partners to be treated for better results. If the test results are negative for three consecutive months, it is considered cured.
This condition may be caused by mycoplasma infection. Mycoplasma is a type of microscopic pathogen different from bacteria and fungi, and it can cause pneumonia and urogenital infections. It is recommended to use azithromycin for treatment.
