Can you go swimming with candidiasis?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

No, it will infect others. Candidal vaginitis should be treated by rinsing the external genitalia and vagina with alkaline solutions such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to alter the vaginal pH, making it unfavorable for the growth of fungi. After rinsing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, 100,000-200,000 units each time, once a night, for a course of 10-14 days. Apply 3% miconazole ointment to the external genitalia afterward for better results. For stubborn cases, oral itraconazole or clotrimazole can be taken to eliminate intestinal candidiasis, or topical miconazole can be used. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and underwear should be changed, washed, and boiled daily for disinfection.
