Patient's question:
If you use condoms, can you have sex?Thanks!
Doctor's answer:
Candida infection, also known as candidal vulvovaginitis, primarily manifests as cheese-like or curd-like vaginal discharge, increased discharge, itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia and vagina, and painful urination. Incomplete treatment once can lead to recurrence, and both partners should be treated for a complete cure. If diagnosed, it is recommended to:1. Use a 2–4% soda solution to rinse the vagina to alter the environment where the fungus thrives.
2. Take Nystatin tablets (50 million units) orally three times a day, with a 7-day course of treatment. Continuous treatment for three menstrual cycles is necessary. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided.
3. In daily life, wear cotton, breathable pants, avoid excessive vaginal cleaning, reduce the intake of irritating foods, maintain sexual hygiene, and do not overuse antibiotics.
