Patient's question:
Friend recently found that the discharge is quite dirty and abundant, but there is no itching or pain. Examination revealed that they have an infection, and they want to consult on how to generally treat candidal vulvovaginitis well.Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidiasis (yeast infection) is caused by the infection of the blood-borne pathogen Candida albicans. It frequently occurs in women who use hormones or antibiotics for a long time, as well as in diabetics and pregnant women. The main transmission routes are sexual intercourse, hot tubs, towels, etc. The main symptoms are cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external genital itching. Oral fluconazole 150mg, vaginal medication Kefinon, or nystatin suppositories can be used for treatment. During treatment, avoid sexual activity, change underwear frequently, and sterilize utensils by boiling them. There are many treatment methods for candidiasis, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms appear.
