Can fungal budding spores in gynecology be transmitted to my husband?

Budding spores are caused by fungal infections, commonly seen in vulvovaginal candidiasis. Vulvovaginal candidiasis can be transmitted through sexual intercourse and requires timely treatment. Specific analysis is as follows:

In gynecology, "spore-forming fungi" refer to the presence of fungal spores found during routine vaginal discharge examination, indicating vulvovaginal candidiasis. Budding spores of mold may grow on the male genitalia; during sexual intercourse, these spores can lead to excessive proliferation in the vagina, resulting in symptoms of vulvovaginal candidiasis. Additionally, some women may become infected due to decreased immunity or using shared toilets, bathtubs, towels, or unhygienic toilet paper. Vulvovaginal candidiasis can also be transmitted to male partners during sexual intercourse, potentially causing abnormalities in the male genitalia. Therefore, when vulvovaginal candidiasis is present, systematic treatment is essential to prevent cross-infection, along with proper daily hygiene practices.

During treatment, personal hygiene must be carefully maintained. Underwear should be changed and washed frequently. Personal items such as used underwear, basins, and towels should be scalded with boiling water and dried in direct sunlight.
