Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can candidiasis cause complete relief?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a common type of vaginitis, primarily caused by Candida albicans. This fungus normally resides in the vagina. When the sugar level in the vagina increases and the acidity rises, the fungus rapidly multiplies, leading to inflammation. It is more common in pregnant women, diabetic patients, and those receiving large doses of estrogen. Long-term use of antibiotics can disrupt the mutual inhibitory relationship between microorganisms in the vagina, allowing the fungus to multiply and cause infection.Treatment: Wash the external genitalia or soak in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. Apply a 2% gentian violet solution locally. In recent years, nystatin has shown significant efficacy.
