How is candidiasis generally treated?

Patient's question:

The leukorrhea is like yellow curd. Currently, I am applying clotrimazole ointment to the external genital area. Could you please ask the doctor how (Candida vaginal infection) is generally treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it is inferred that Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen. 20% of normal women carry this fungus, but in small quantities, without causing symptoms. Only when the systemic and local immune capacity increases, especially when local cellular immunity declines, does Candida albicans proliferate significantly, leading to symptoms of vaginitis. It is recommended that you follow medical advice to take medication, apply ointment externally, and maintain good hygiene habits. If there is no improvement or relief, seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination and adjustment of the treatment plan. In addition to standard treatment for Candida vaginitis, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities.
