Patient's question:
Candida vaginal yeast infection, how to recover? What causes it? The condition isn't improving much, and I'm quite worried. I need a good treatment method now and really want to know.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by an infection with the blood pathogen Candida albicans. It frequently recurs in women who use hormones or antibiotics long-term, as well as in diabetics and pregnant women. The main routes of infection are through masturbation, hot tubs, towels, and other items. The primary symptoms include cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external itching. Treatment options include oral fluconazole 150mg, vaginal nystatin, or vaginal miconazole pessary insertion. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, underwear should be changed frequently, and hygiene items should be sterilized by boiling.There are several treatment methods for candidal vulvovaginitis, but since patients exhibit different symptoms, the treatment approaches vary accordingly. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
