Patient's question:
Female, 35 years old. A few weeks ago, she felt discomfort in her private area and had abnormal discharge, so she went for a check-up. The result showed that she had candidal vaginitis. Recent follow-up revealed that her vaginal cleanliness was grade 1, but why is there still candida?Doctor's answer:
The vaginal cleanliness in the range of 1-2 is considered normal, so there is no need to worry excessively. However, the presence of mold in your reaction is also very common, as candidiasis (yeast infection) indeed has the potential for recurrent episodes. Therefore, it is essential to complete the full course of medication and undergo regular follow-up examinations. Additionally, during this period, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene, change underwear and pants daily, and ensure thorough sun exposure for sterilization to prevent repeated cross-infection.
