Patient's question:
Candidiasis vulvovaginitis is a major concern for many female patients. In the early stages, candidiasis vulvovaginitis does not pose significant harm to women; it is usually characterized by vaginal itching. Can garlic treat candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is mainly considered to be candidiasis (yeast infection). This is primarily caused by fungal infection, and garlic cannot treat it, so it is recommended not to use it. You can take medications such as Nystatin tablets and Gynecological Itching Relief capsules. Additionally, you can use potassium permanganate for sitz baths combined with external suppositories like Daktarin. Drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy fried foods. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the affected area clean and dry, and change underwear and pants frequently. If the symptoms are severe, seek medical treatment promptly with intravenous fluids.
