Patient's question:
Hello, the doctor said I have candidal vaginitis, but the test results did not detect any Candida. The cleanliness is III. Is this still candidal vaginitis? What are the small red spots on my partner's glans?Duration and onset of symptoms: 7 days
Medical history: None
Additional information: The small red spots on the glans are neither raised nor indented, and they disappear after washing. What could they be?
Doctor's answer:
??????Hello! Generally, if you have candidal vulvovaginitis, you may experience cottage cheese-like discharge and vaginal itching, among other symptoms. However, these alone cannot confirm the diagnosis.The vaginal discharge test you took did not detect anything, which could be due to a missed diagnosis, or it may be that your discharge does not contain typical signs of yeast. Alternatively, you might have bacterial vaginosis. None of these reasons should cause excessive concern. There are many topical medications available now that can treat bacterial, yeast, and other types of vaginal infections. It is recommended that you follow the medication prescribed by your doctor, take it consistently, and pay attention to hygiene to prevent reinfection. I hope my response is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
