Can you have children with candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, I was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis last month. Since I'm not young anymore, I want to have a child. So far this month, I haven't felt any discomfort. It's been quite cold lately, and both my husband and I have mild colds.
1. Can I have a child today? I haven't planned anything for this period, and I'm afraid I might not be able to. He has taken Vitamin C and Mulberry Leaf Tablets.
2. Will it affect the sperm?
3. If the candidal vaginitis hasn't improved next month, can I continue taking medication?
4. Will it affect the fetus?
I may have asked too many questions, but I really want to know. Thank you, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

From the perspective of eugenics, it is recommended to postpone pregnancy for the time being. Medications can have some effects, so it is best to wait until you have had two or three menstrual cycles before trying to conceive. For candidal vaginitis, it is important to actively treat it, as it can easily lead to premature rupture of membranes and pose a risk of miscarriage or preterm labor. It is recommended to use nystatin suppositories for treatment, and be careful to avoid contact with the cervix. During treatment, change your underwear frequently and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
