Patient's question:
I am a woman, 33 years old. I have been troubled by candidiasis for half a year. The condition has been fluctuating and not fully resolved. Recently, I am considering having a second child, so I would like to ask how high a temperature can kill the mold?Doctor's answer:
Considering that you are trying to conceive, it is indeed necessary to promptly treat candidiasis to avoid worsening the condition during pregnancy and causing unnecessary harm. Candida can be killed in just 15 minutes at 100 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is recommended that during treatment, you boil your daily underwear for 15 minutes each time and use topical clotrimazole suppositories along with oral nystatin tablets. Maintaining a light diet and engaging in appropriate exercise will also be beneficial for recovery.
