Patient's question:
Female, 46 years old, she has been sick for a long time, but it wasn't discovered until an examination revealed this condition. Please ask: What should be done to prevent candidal vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Preventive measures for fungal vaginal infections should include the following points:1. Eliminate triggers, such as actively treating diabetes and promptly discontinuing broad-spectrum antibiotics or estrogen.
2. Practice good hygiene, change underwear frequently, especially underwear, and ensure that used clothing is boiled and sterilized.
3. Vaginal fungi often coexist with or transmit to other fungal infections in other parts of the body. For those with typical symptoms and positive fungal tests, timely treatment is necessary.
4. For persistent or recurrent fungal vaginal infections, sexual transmission is also one of the causes. Both partners should receive appropriate treatment to prevent mutual transmission.
