Patient's question:
A girl is 20 years old this year. She usually doesn't have much to do, but every time she has sex with her boyfriend, she feels uncomfortable in her private area. Not only is the color of her discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This problem has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: What are the symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a common and easily occurring gynecological disease characterized by inflammation of the vulva and vagina caused by Candida. The most prominent symptoms include frequent urination, itching, increased vaginal discharge, and painful urination. It may also cause intense itching of the vulva, purulent pain, vaginal burning pain, which becomes more pronounced during urination. Lastly, during treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and practice good hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
