Patient's question:
Last year, I had an episode of it. After checking at the hospital, they prescribed medication, which quickly controlled it through internal use and oral administration. However, recently, my private area has started to feel uncomfortable again. My discharge is also abnormal, with a particularly strong odor. Please ask: What methods are used to treat fungal vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by the infection of the blood pathogen Candida albicans. It frequently occurs in women who have long-term use of hormones, antibiotics, diabetes patients, and pregnant women. The main transmission routes are sexual intercourse, swimming pools, towels, etc. The main symptoms include cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external genital itching. Patients must actively treat other diseases that may lead to candidal vulvovaginitis, completely eliminate susceptible factors, maintain clean and dry external genitalia, and avoid scratching.During the treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis, patients must strictly avoid sexual intercourse and should not consume spicy or irritating foods. Additionally, patients should use traditional Chinese medicine that has insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and heat-clearing and detoxifying effects to steam the external genitalia. This can not only alleviate symptoms but also inhibit and eliminate Candida albicans.
