Patient's question:
Where are the professional hospitals for treating candidal vulvovaginitis? Vulvovaginitis, candidal vulvovaginitis, it's so frustrating, please help me get better quickly. How should I treat and take care of it?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis vulvovaginitis, also known as moniliasis vulvovaginitis, is primarily caused by the infection of Candida albicans, a blood-borne pathogen. 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 include masturbation, hot tubs, towels, and other items. The primary symptoms are cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external itching. It is recommended to use alkaline solutions such as 2–4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to wash the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to favor the growth of Candida. After washing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina. For stubborn cases, oral itraconazole or clotrimazole may be taken to eliminate intestinal Candida, or topical miconazole can be used. During treatment, masturbation should be avoided, and freshly washed and sterilized underwear should be changed daily. A follow-up examination should be conducted after the menstrual period.
