Patient's question:
A good hospital for treating candidal vulvovaginitis has been noticed nearby in recent months that the vagina is red and swollen, especially itchy, and often unable to take a nap at night due to the itching. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was said that there is candidal vulvovaginitis. I don't quite understand this and don't know what to do. How is candidal vulvovaginitis treated best? What are the good hospitals for treating candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, also known as monilial vulvovaginitis, can be treated by using baking soda or potassium permanganate solution for rinsing. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination and receive targeted treatment promptly. Due to the high recurrence rate of this condition, medication is typically recommended for 3 to 6 months. If the patient is sexually active, both partners should be tested and treated simultaneously to prevent cross-infection and recurring episodes. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. If follow-up tests show three consecutive negative results, the condition is considered normal. There are many treatment methods for candidal vulvovaginitis, but since symptoms vary among patients, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
