Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old, I have vaginitis, itchy severely down there, especially itchy in the morning every day. I have already gone to the hospital and been prescribed oral medication. It was effective at first, but then it started itching again. What should I do about candidal vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
First, consider medication treatment, including vaginal and oral medications. Pay attention to hygiene and take medication on schedule. Candidal vaginitis tends to recur frequently. After this treatment, it is necessary to re-examine vaginal discharge after menstruation to stabilize the treatment. If the vaginal discharge test is normal next month, further treatment will not be needed. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations in reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to ensure targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods in their daily diet.
