Patient's question:
I am 27 years old, female, and was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis a year ago. I underwent physical microwave treatment in a regular hospital. Initially, it was effective, but later it recurred with severe itching in the external genitalia. Currently, I occasionally use Daktarin suppositories for treatment. Today, while searching online, I found out that the male partner should also receive. I would like to ask how the male partner should be treated? What medication should be used? The couple has fixed sexual relations, and neither has any other sexual partners. We always add disinfectant when washing clothes in the washing machine, and I always wash my underwear separately by hand with underwear detergent. I usually have a feminine hygiene wash and use it occasionally when taking a bath. However, it still recurs. Due to my vagina being extremely sensitive to pain,Doctor's answer:
Hello, for vaginitis that has been diagnosed after examination, it is necessary to follow the three principles of vaginitis treatment: unified treatment for both partners, internal and external treatment for three cycles. When the doctor prescribes medication, they will also provide the portion for your partner. However, there are several aspects to pay attention to regarding candidal vaginitis, as these factors may lead to recurrent episodes of the condition.First, after developing candidal vaginitis, not taking medication diligently or failing to complete the treatment thoroughly is a major reason for the disease's recurrence.
Second, both partners do not receive simultaneous treatment.
Third, during treatment, underwear, towels, and other items are not washed and disinfected according to regulations.
Fourth, Candida infection in the intestines can cause candidal vaginitis when it infects the vagina.
Fifth, frequent or long-term use of antibiotics.
Sixth, diabetics are prone to recurrent candidal vaginitis.
Seventh, poor hygiene, such as washing underwear with socks.
