Patient's question:
How to Treat Candidal Vulvitis Hello, I am 29 years old. Recently, I have been experiencing intense itching in the vulva. After examination, it was found to be candidal vulvitis. How should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Active treatment can lead to other diseases that cause candidal vulvovaginitis, and completely eliminate susceptible factors. Always maintain clean and dry external genitalia, and avoid scratching. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Use alkaline solutions to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to inhibit the growth and adaptation of Candida. In fact, besides itching, other symptoms include cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge. Long-term antibiotic use, frequent vaginal irrigation, wearing synthetic fiber underwear, taking birth control pills, using spermicides, or exposure to warm climates can all increase the incidence of this inflammation.
