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. Is candidal vulvitis easy to treat? How can it be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis is caused by infection with Candida albicans. Treatment can involve washing the glans penis and foreskin with physiological saline or gentian violet solution to thoroughly remove dirt, followed by soaking the foreskin and glans penis in a sodium bicarbonate solution. Additionally, antifungal creams such as clotrimazole cream, Fungizone cream, or Terbinafine cream can be applied to the glans penis for treatment. If symptoms of urethritis recur, oral nystatin or fluconazole can be taken to address the issue. During treatment, sexual intercourse must be strictly avoided to prevent cross-infection. Wishing you good health.The treatment methods for candidal vulvitis are numerous, but since symptoms vary among patients, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
