Doctor's answer:
Common vaginal infections include trichomoniasis, candidiasis, and bacterial vaginosis. If sexual intercourse occurs during the inflammatory period, it is possible to transmit the infection to the male partner, but using condoms can effectively prevent transmission. So you don't need to worry, it won't be transmitted to you. If the incubation period for vaginal infection is only 2-3 days, for other sexually transmitted diseases, the incubation period can last for several years. It is recommended that the female partner undergo a gynecological examination at the hospital, have her vaginal discharge tested, and receive treatment based on the examination results. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and it is also recommended that the male partner closely monitor any changes. In the future, pay attention to hygiene before and after sexual intercourse.
