Patient's question:
Suffering from candidal vulvitis for 3 months, I feel it has fully healed this month. I had sexual activity, but it has recurred in recent days. How should candidal vulvitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidiasis is a fungal infection. It generally presents with cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and itching of the external genitalia. If it is confirmed to be candidiasis, vaginal antifungal medication is usually required, along with rinsing with an alkaline solution. It is important to pay attention to hygiene, boil underwear, expose it to sunlight, and change underwear frequently. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided. Regular exercise can help strengthen the body and reduce the recurrence of candidiasis, which can also be beneficial for your recovery.
