Will a man's dirty penis infect a woman?

Patient's question:

I want to know if there is smegma or poor hygiene on my husband's penis, whether it can cause the other party to have a fungal vaginitis. Is it also possible for the male to cause a vaginal infection in the female? Because I had no problems before marriage, but it started after getting married.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! What you mentioned is entirely possible. Many cases of vaginitis are also caused by insufficient hygiene before sexual intercourse, leading to vaginal infections and inflammation. Vaginitis can also be transmitted between both partners through sexual contact, requiring simultaneous treatment. Thank you for your support of Hangzhou Ren De Hospital!
