Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, for the past few days, the external genital area has been particularly itchy, and there is a significant increase in discharge. Now, every time she urinates, it causes pain. She is here to ask for advice on how to treat candidal vulvovaginitis effectively.Doctor's answer:
Let the doctor apply the medicine using a device, because this way the medicine can be applied to the right place and is less likely to be left out. This condition requires continuous treatment for three months, with two weeks of treatment each month. For the last two months, medication should be applied as soon as menstruation stops. If there is no fungal infection, treatment is not necessary. Additionally, during medication, avoid spicy foods, beer, and sexual activity. These can irritate the condition and worsen it. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
