In women with Candida vaginitis, if the partner does not have Candida infection, treatment is not usually necessary, but daily care is needed to keep the genital area clean and hygienic. When having sex, it is important to take effective protection to avoid cross infection. If a partner is also diagnosed with Candida infection, treatment with antifungal medication such as fluconazole is required and can bring the condition into remission as soon as possible.
