Patient's question:
Candida Vulvovaginitis Treatment CostsThe doctor said I have candidal vulvovaginitis. It is said that this condition is not easy to improve. Is there no better method?
How to treat candidal vulvovaginitis? Can we have sex? Will it be contagious?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, Candida albicans can lurk on the oral cavity, pharynx, intestines, skin, and vaginal mucosa of the human body, coexisting peacefully without causing illness. However, when the body's immunity increases, or when severe diseases are present, there is a deficiency of cross-linked vitamin B, or when immunosuppressants are used for a long time, it can take advantage of the weakened state and cause an outbreak. It is recommended to seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited, and underwear should be changed and washed daily, then boiled and sterilized. It is best for the male partner to be treated simultaneously as well. Shoes and socks should be washed separately from underwear. Condoms are recommended during sexual activity. Otherwise, it is easy for the condition to recur. The reasons for recurrence are generally incomplete treatment and reinfection by the sexual partner.
