Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, in recent days, the external genital area has been particularly itchy, and there is a significant increase in discharge. Now, urination causes pain. I don't know what caused this and am now looking to ask here. Does candidal vulvovaginitis cause pain during intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis can cause pain during intercourse, so it still needs to be paid attention to. For patients with candidal vulvovaginitis, the most important thing is to receive timely and active treatment, using imidazole suppositories for vaginal medication. It is also necessary to pay attention to personal hygiene during daily life. After treatment, sexual life generally has no impact. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to formal tertiary hospitals for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible according to their own conditions to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take good care to prevent colds and keep warm, eat light and soft foods in daily diet, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink more hot water.
