Suffering from candidal vulvitis for 3 months, I feel like I have recovered this month. I had sexual activity, but I feel like it has recurred again. Please ask: What should I do if I suffer from candidal vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, also known as simple vulvovaginal candidiasis, refers to vulvovaginitis caused by the transmission of Candida. The main symptoms include vulvar itching, burning pain, and in severe cases, restlessness, urinary urgency, and frequent urination. For candidal vulvovaginitis, certain examinations are necessary. It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant tests to further diagnose the cause and cooperate with treatment. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the vulva in daily life. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and using soap. During infection, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable, loose, and comfortable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. When patients face gynecological troubles, we should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If gynecological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly change the treatment plan.
