Patient's question:
Usually, there's not much going on, but every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the odor is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: How is it treated if I have candidal vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvitis patients exhibit increased vaginal discharge, itching, burning sensation in the vulva and vagina, painful urination, and often redness and swelling around the vulva. The skin changes are diverse and varied, so women need to actively treat candidal vulvitis with medication. Avoid prolonged sitting, wearing tight pants, and using sanitary pads, as these can keep the intimate area of women constantly moist and warm. Combined with poor air circulation and difficulty in heat dissipation, this environment is particularly conducive to the growth of mold. Over time, this can lead to vaginal flora imbalance.Especially, some sanitary pads also provide anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients. For healthy women, while completely eliminating vaginal pathogens, these ingredients can also damage beneficial bacteria, thereby disrupting vaginal flora balance.
