Patient's question:
I have had candidal vulvovaginitis for four or five years. I feel that Western medicine is not effective, and it keeps recurring. Can I see a Chinese medicine practitioner for？How should the doctor treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, having four or more episodes of moldy vaginitis within a year indicates refractory vaginitis. First, exclude diabetes, and then both partners should be treated together. Guidance and suggestions: It can be transmitted through sexual activity, but the male partner usually shows no symptoms. It is recommended that both partners receive treatment for 6 cycles. The female should start medication about 10 days before her menstrual period. Traditional Chinese Medicine also addresses it, but it is not the root cause. Daily treatment methods include boiling 15 grains of pepper in water and using it for vaginal washing. There are many treatment methods for vaginitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
