Patient's question:
I have had candidal vulvitis for 3 months. This month, I feel like I have recovered. I had sexual activity, but I feel like it has recurred again. Please ask: How can candidal vulvitis be treated safely?Doctor's answer:
Through your description, the basic situation has been understood. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a common inflammation in women, most of which is caused by Candida albicans. It primarily manifests as an abnormal increase in vaginal discharge, often appearing like cottage cheese. The patient experiences intense itching in the external genitalia, and sometimes a burning sensation may also occur. The general treatment methods for vulvovaginal candidiasis vary. A 5% sodium bicarbonate solution is typically used for rinsing, repeated for about ten minutes. Clotrimazole cream is applied evenly to the external genitalia twice daily. If it is ineffective, it is best to consult a regular gynecological hospital for follow-up.
