Patient's question:
Suffering from candidal vulvitis for 3 months, I feel better this month. I had sexual intercourse, but why did it come back? Please ask: What is the most effective treatment for candidal vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Your condition can lead to external itching, even purulent pain, vaginal burning pain, which is more pronounced during urination, or symptoms like frequent urination, dysuria, and pain during intercourse. The discharge may be viscous, appearing like white curd or cottage cheese, with a white pseudomembrane covering the vaginal walls, visible redness of the mucosa after wiping. Treatment primarily involves local vaginal washing and medication, such as using baking soda solution or miconazole vaginal suppositories. At the same time, personal hygiene should be maintained, avoiding bath tubs or shared baths to reduce infection and transmission. Patients should also avoid sexual intercourse, and both partners should be treated concurrently. Additionally, for gynecological patients during treatment, dietary and nursing care are also very important. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the description provided can assist you. Thank you.
