Treatment for fungal vulvitis? I have had fungal vulvitis for 3 months, and this month I feel like I have fully recovered. After having sexual intercourse, it has recurred in recent days. I have used miconazole cream, micronazole cream, and inserted medication. Will it affect pregnancy? Can I have children? How should it be treated? Will it recur? What are the treatment methods for fungal vulvitis? I would like to consult on the treatment methods for fungal vulvitis? Will it affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis is an inflammation of the external genitalia caused by a yeast-like fungus. The most common pathogen is Candida albicans. The vast majority of cases are due to improper hygiene and unsafe sexual practices. It is recommended that you seek medical attention at a reputable hospital for follow-up. Since you are currently preparing to conceive, it is important not to self-medicate. If it is indeed vaginal candidiasis, men should not take metronidazole tablets, as this is not the correct treatment. For now, men can temporarily use external washes. After all, you are not trying to get pregnant, right? Wishing you both the best of luck in fulfilling your wishes!There are several treatment methods for vaginal candidiasis, but since symptoms vary among patients, the chosen treatment may differ. Therefore, it is essential for patients to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure appropriate treatment.
