Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been feeling unwell recently and went to the hospital for a check-up where I was diagnosed with this disease, Candida vaginitis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, also known as candidal vulvovaginitis, is primarily caused by the infection of the blood pathogen Candida albicans. It often occurs in women who use hormones or antibiotics for a long time, as well as in diabetics and pregnant women. The main routes of infection include sexual intercourse, swimming pools, towels, etc. The main symptoms are cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external genital itching. It is recommended to use alkaline solutions such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to wash the external genitalia and vagina, thereby altering the vaginal pH. There are many treatments for candidal vulvovaginitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to be examined and diagnosed promptly to receive appropriate treatment.
