Patient's question:
A girl is 21 years old and usually doesn't have much going on, but after having sex with her boyfriend, she always feels uncomfortable in her private area. Not only is the color of her discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling her for a long time. Please ask: How can I self-assess the severity of candidiasis vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, self-testing methods for fungal vaginitis can be identified from recurring symptoms. During recurrence, the main symptoms are typically cottage cheese-like discharge and severe itching of the external genitalia. Based on the amount of discharge and the degree of itching, a preliminary diagnosis can be made. However, the best approach is to promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis.During treatment, patients should adhere to a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain good personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
