Patient's question:
A 26-year-old woman had a check-up last month and was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis. She took medication and recovered, but after one menstrual period, her leukorrhea turned yellow again, but she didn't feel as itchy as before. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The patient consulted for candidal vaginitis and was cured. After one menstrual period, the leukorrhea turned yellow again because candidal vaginitis is prone to recurrence. Generally, candidal vaginitis requires continuous treatment for three cycles, and both partners need to be treated. If the leukorrhea remains yellow after menstruation, it indicates that there is still some inflammation. It is recommended to continue a course of treatment and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Keep the external genitalia clean, and sun-dry underwear after boiling. Avoid sexual activity during treatment.
