Patient's question:
A woman is 34 years old this year. She has been running to and from hospitals many times, but the results are always not obvious, and she has been having symptoms continuously. Please ask: How should candidiasis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis can be treated using the following methods:1. General treatment: Always maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, avoid scratching, strictly prohibit sexual activity during the treatment period, and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods.
2. Changing the vaginal pH: The optimal pH value for the growth of Candida is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to rinse the external genitalia and vagina can alter the vaginal pH, which helps control the growth and reproduction of Candida. Of course, it is also possible to consult a doctor for prescription oral or topical medications to treat the condition.
