Patient's question:

Preventive measures for candidal vulvovaginitis 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 candidiasis often coexists with or is mutually transmitted to fungal infections in other parts of the body. Individuals with typical symptoms and positive fungal tests should be treated promptly.
