Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year, and recently, I have been experiencing persistent and unbearable itching in the external genital area. After a thorough examination, it was found that I have candidal vulvitis. What is this condition?Doctor's answer:
Active treatment can lead to other diseases that cause candidal vaginitis, and completely eliminate susceptible factors. Always maintain clean and dry external genitalia to prevent scratching. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Using alkaline solutions to wash the external genitalia and vagina can change the vaginal pH, which will inhibit the growth and adaptation of Candida. In fact, besides itching, other symptoms include cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge. Long-term oral antibiotic use, frequent vaginal irrigation, wearing synthetic fiber underwear, oral contraceptive pills, using spermicides, or warm climates may all increase the incidence of this inflammation. Some women may experience recurrent episodes.
