Patient's question:
I am 28 years old. Recently, I have been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Additionally, I have been feeling discomfort in my private area, with symptoms of itching and burning, especially in the afternoon. It is really unbearable. What should I do if the diagnosis is candidiasis vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis can be treated with symptomatic solutions or soapy water for vaginal irrigation to alter the growth environment of Candida. Subsequently, symptomatic ointments should be applied locally to the vagina. New underwear should be worn daily, and underwear should be boiled and exposed to sunlight. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Finally, during treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
