Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I am also very careful about her hygiene. However, recently the little girl always feels itchy in her external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very troubled. Please ask: How is candidiasis caused?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Since fungi are widely present in nature, it is easy to contract candidiasis if not careful. After contracting candidiasis, common symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, a curd-like appearance, and severe itching of the external genitalia. Lastly, during treatment, patients need to follow a balanced diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
