Patient's question:
Candida vulvovaginitis, how to self-heal? What causes it? Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it will affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by the infection of the bloodstream pathogen Candida albicans. It frequently recurs in women who use hormones or antibiotics for a long time, as well as in diabetic patients and pregnant women. The main routes of infection are sexual intercourse, swimming pools, towels, etc. The main symptoms include cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external genital itching. Oral fluconazole 150mg, clotrimazole vaginal tablets for vaginal use, or nystatin vaginal suppositories can be used for treatment. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, underwear should be changed frequently, and hygiene items should be sterilized by boiling water. There are several treatment methods for candidal vulvovaginitis, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the diagnostic methods used also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
