    Judging mold infection needs to be based on clinical symptoms and related examinations. After mold infection occurs, it will have an impact on the health of the body. Daily care needs to be done in a timely manner, and targeted treatment must be adopted to reduce the impact.

    1. Clinical symptoms

    After fungal infection, most of them will cause inflammatory lesions in the genitals, which may cause local symptoms of redness, swelling or itching, and may also cause dryness or peeling. In more serious cases, it may also cause local purulent lesions, and the possibility of odor cannot be ruled out.

    2. Relevant inspections

    To judge fungal infection, most people need to go to the hospital and cooperate with a doctor to do a fungal culture test. Fungal culture test can determine whether there is mold. At the same time, you also need to cooperate with a doctor to do secretion testing, which can also assist in diagnosing whether there is a fungal infection.

    Fungal infection becomes contagious and can be transmitted through sexual contact or indirect contact. After infection, it is necessary to prevent cross-infection. It is usually necessary to keep the local area clean and hygienic, and wear loose underwear with good breathability. If the infection is serious, you also need to apply erythromycin ointment or oxidant ointment to the local area, and take metronidazole capsules orally for treatment, which can promote recovery.
