Patient's question:
I am a 65-year-old woman who suddenly felt unwell. After a check-up, I was diagnosed with this disease. Please ask: What should I do about vulvar itching, redness, swelling, and white discharge?Doctor's answer:
If the discharge is relatively thick, it may be a sign of candidal vulvovaginitis, and a routine examination of vaginal discharge should be performed for a definitive diagnosis. If it is confirmed to be candidal vulvovaginitis, avoid taking antibiotics randomly and wear loose pants. Underwear should be boiled or exposed to sunlight. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, eat more light, soft, and watery foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
