Patient's question:
Female, 32 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 odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: How long does candidiasis last?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a common clinical diagnosis of inflammation, primarily characterized by increased vaginal discharge, odor, itching, and a curd-like texture of the discharge. The treatment duration is typically one week, but the condition tends to recur easily. Lastly, during treatment, patients should adhere to a balanced diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and maintain good personal hygiene to prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
