There are many gynecological diseases nowadays, and fungal vulvitis is a disease caused by Candida infection, which has a certain degree of infectivity, so patients need to pay more attention. And patients with this disease know that the transmission route of fungal infections is through contact, and they are worried about infecting children. So, can fungal infections be transmitted to children?
Sexual activity is the main route of transmission for fungal infections, followed by close contact with individuals who frequently come into contact with the patient's clothing. For example, washing clothes with children and women with fungal infections can easily transmit the bacteria to the children. So although this disease is theoretically contagious to children, as long as you pay attention to avoiding contact between clothing, bedding, and children, it will not be transmitted to them.
Patients with fungal vulvitis need medication treatment, and it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse during the treatment period. If sexual intercourse occurs, condoms must be used. Wash children's and adults' clothing separately, especially underwear. Whether it is women with fungal vaginitis or children, it is recommended to disinfect them by scalding them with hot water after washing, which reduces the chance of close contact and naturally prevents transmission to others.
Toilets and bathtubs are indirectly contagious. It is best to disinfect toilets and bathtubs used by patients with fungal infections to prevent transmission to children or others. In order to get rid of the troubles of fungal vaginitis as soon as possible, patients should actively seek treatment, pay attention to personal hygiene, and change underwear frequently.
