Patient's question:
Female, 34 years old. I have been menopausal for the past two years, but recently I have been experiencing intense itching in the external genitalia and vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. Please ask: What are the symptoms of candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Considering the high possibility of you having a fungal vaginal infection, it is recommended that you seek timely medical treatment at a hospital. Fungal vaginal infection is a stubborn type of vaginitis with a high recurrence rate. Only through standardized treatment can the recurrence rate be reduced. It is advised that you maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, foods high in sugar, seafood, and quit smoking and alcohol. Do not wear tight-fitting pants. Engage in regular exercise, pay attention to personal hygiene, and your sexual partner should also undergo treatment.
