Can candidiasis of the vagina be cured?

Patient's question:

Female, 25 years old, my wife has trichomoniasis vaginitis. It's very itchy down there, especially in the morning every day. She has already gone to the hospital and was prescribed oral metronidazole tablets. At first, it was effective, but then it started itching again. Can candidiasis vaginitis be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Candidal vulvovaginitis is curable and there is no need to worry too much. Symptomatic medication can be inserted deep into the vagina, once in the morning and once in the evening, or once every night, for a total of two weeks. During treatment, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia and avoid scratching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Change underwear frequently, rinse with warm water, and never wash them with other clothes to prevent cross-infection.
