Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old, last week, my husband accompanied me for a gynecological examination and learned that I have vaginitis. I have actually had uncomfortable, itchy, and uncomfortable symptoms before. Please ask: How should candidal vaginitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Actually, under normal circumstances, mold (specifically Candida) colonizes the vagina. It is generally not pathogenic and belongs to a conditionally pathogenic microorganism. It can cause bloodstream infection only when there is dysbiosis. For vulvovaginal candidiasis (commonly referred to as candidal vaginitis), if liver function is good, oral medication is recommended. It can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine applied vaginally, and the external genitalia can be treated with cream. There are many treatment methods for this disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach should be adjusted accordingly. Therefore, patients need to seek professional medical attention as soon as possible for detailed testing to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
