Patient's question:
Gender: Female, Age: 24. I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while, with smelly and excessive white discharge. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the results showed that I had a fungal infection. Then the doctor recommended that I undergo light therapy. I'm wondering why light therapy is recommended for a fungal infection?Doctor's answer:
Many women are currently troubled by candidiasis. This condition is caused by a fungal infection and is characterized by recurrent episodes. Therefore, in treatment, it is generally recommended to use oral medication combined with topical drugs, adhering to the principles of sufficient duration and appropriate dosage. Under normal circumstances, if both partners are treated together and medication is used reasonably, candidiasis can be well controlled and improved. Therefore, phototherapy is not necessary, but the specific approach still depends on the individual's actual condition.
