If you have candidiasis, will it be contagious to your husband, and what should you

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Two weeks ago, I suddenly felt an unbearable itch at the vaginal opening and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor observed externally and said I had candidiasis of the vagina, and conducted a vaginal discharge test, but no yeast was detected. The doctor said it was because it was too cold, which is why the test was negative. However, there was indeed a white patch of yeast at the vaginal opening.
Duration of the current episode: After using a seven-day suppository for about four days, the itching subsided, but it then recurred.
Current general condition: Later, I bought a three-day treatment of Daktarin from a pharmacy and used it for one day, but the area of the external genitalia where the medicine was applied became extremely itchy.

Doctor's answer:

This can be contagious. You can first rinse the vagina with 2% sodium bicarbonate to change the vaginal acidity and inhibit fungal growth. After drying, you can use 1 gram of miconazole and 100,000 U, once every 12 hours, for a 3-day course of treatment.
2. Daktarine suppository 200mg, insert into the vagina daily for 2 weeks. It can also be used during menstruation.
3. Apply 31% gentian violet to the vaginal mucosa, 3 times a week for 2 weeks.
Your husband can use Daktarine cream for topical application.
