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. How is the best way to treat candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidiasis is 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 are sexual intercourse, swimming pools, towels, etc. The main symptoms are cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external itching. Oral fluconazole 150mg can be taken, and 0.1% povidone-iodine solution can be applied or washed on the affected area. Kanin vaginal medication can also be used, or nystatin suppositories can be inserted into the vagina for treatment.
