I had a relapse of mold after having sex with my husband

Many female gynecological inflammations are directly related to sexual behavior. When treating gynecological diseases, both husband and wife need to be treated together. This is why gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence. Some women will have a relapse of fungal infections after having sex with their husbands. This is because their spouses do not receive treatment together during the treatment period. This situation occurs very often. Let's learn about how gynecological diseases should be treated.

1. Why is the recurrence of vaginitis related to the husband?

The female vagina is an acidic environment, and coupled with the moisture in this area, it is easy for bacteria to grow and multiply. To prevent recurrence, you should pay attention to hygiene in your daily life, including during intercourse. Change your underwear frequently and wash it with hot water. Used towels should also be disinfected regularly.

In addition, common vaginitis is candidal vaginitis, which is caused by vaginal infection with Candida albicans. Vaginal candidiasis can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, and the chance of a sexual partner becoming ill at the same time is 15%. The bacteria will be transmitted to the husband silently during intercourse, but the husband will not have any special symptoms or discomfort after being infected. During intercourse, the husband transmitted the bacteria to his wife, causing his wife to suffer from recurrent vaginitis. Doctors suggest that husbands of women with recurrent vaginitis should also undergo andrology examinations to check for Candida albicans infection. If so, they need treatment.

Why are husbands more susceptible to infection with this type of bacteria? This is mainly because the external genitalia of both men and women have wrinkles on the outside of the mucous membrane, which makes it easy for bacteria to breed. There is often white smegma hidden between the foreskin and the glans of men, which contains a lot of bacteria. If it is not cleaned in time, it will cause balanitis and balanitis. The female urethra, vagina, and anus are close to each other, and germs can easily contaminate each other. Every time sexual intercourse occurs, the man's semen and the woman's vaginal mucus will stick to the external genitalia, and dirt on the vaginal opening or the penis will also be brought into the vagina, causing vaginitis.

2. Husband and wife should keep their private parts clean before and after sex

Female friends should remember to spread knowledge about sex with their husbands. Carefully cleaning the external genitalia of both men and women before and after sex is one of the important measures to prevent genital tract inflammation and block various infectious diseases. Men should pay attention to washing the penis and scrotum, and pull the foreskin towards the penis to fully expose and clean it. When women wash their vulva, they should pay attention to the area between the labia majora and minora and the vestibule of the vagina. There is no need to clean the inside of the vagina.

You should also urinate once before and after intercourse. Urinating before intercourse can prevent the discomfort caused by pressure on the swollen bladder, which would affect the quality of intercourse. You should also urinate once after having sex to allow urine to flush the urethra opening, which can wash away a small amount of bacteria and prevent urinary tract infection. Especially for women, because their urethra is relatively short, once infected, it is easy for the infection to spread upward and cause pyelonephritis.

TIPS: How to properly protect private parts with underwear and panty liners?

Underwear is the clothing that is closest to the private parts. Regardless of whether you have other diseases or not, it is best to wash it separately, otherwise it is easy to be infected with germs. This is because bacteria that live in various places can easily infect each other. If you suffer from athlete's foot, but wash your underwear and socks together, then these "visiting" fungi can become the "culprit" that causes vaginitis and repeated infections. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately.

In addition, everyone should try to use sanitary pads as little as possible, because the closed environment formed by sanitary pads can easily destroy the inherent microenvironment of the vagina and reduce the vagina's self-antibacterial ability. Therefore, female friends might as well buy a dozen cotton underwear at one time, wash them every day, and replace them every three months.

The frequent recurrence of vaginitis is a "nightmare" for many vaginitis patients. The condition improved slightly after taking the medicine, but vaginitis came back again not long after. Therefore, when vaginitis recurs and does not heal, take your husband to the hospital for a check-up. The effect will be better if both husband and wife treat the disease together.
