Patient's question:
Hello, I have been feeling unwell recently and would like to consult about this disease. How is the treatment for candidal vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidiasis can be treated by using baking soda to wash the external genital area, applying nystatin vaginal suppositories, and taking oral itraconazole and ketoconazole. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and underwear should be changed daily, washed, and boiled to sterilize. After one course of treatment, a negative result for candidiasis should be achieved. Subsequent tests for candidiasis should also be negative after each menstrual cycle. Continuous and stable treatment for three courses is required to be considered cured. It is best for the male partner to also be treated simultaneously, taking nystatin tablets for one week. Shoes and socks should be kept separate from underwear. Otherwise, the condition is likely to recur. The main reasons for recurrence are usually incomplete treatment and reinfection from the sexual partner.
