Vaginitis can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, so do all vaginitis need to be examined and even treated together by the husband? Fungal vaginitis usually does not require a husband to be examined and treated together. However, 15% of men who have intercourse with a woman who has fungal vaginitis will get glansitis. If the man has symptoms then he needs to be tested and treated together, if the man has no symptoms then he does not need to be tested. Trichomoniasis can be transmitted by the male partner. Trichomonas can hide in the male urethra, so the male partner with trichomoniasis needs to be tested and treated at the same time. Bacterial vaginitis or bacterial vaginosis is not related to the man and the husband does not need to be tested and treated.
