Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What foods can I eat with candidal vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a type of vaginitis caused by a fungal infection. Symptoms include intense itching of the external genitalia, which may even become purulent and painful. There is also burning pain in the vagina, which is more pronounced during urination. It is important to maintain good personal hygiene and avoid using tub baths or communal baths to reduce the risk of infection and transmission. The discharge is typically white, resembling curd or cottage cheese. The vaginal walls may be covered with white pseudomembranes, and wiping away the discharge reveals red, inflamed mucosa. Treatment primarily involves local vaginal cleansing and medication, such as using baking soda solution or miconazole vaginal suppositories. Good personal hygiene should be maintained, and tub baths or communal baths should be avoided to reduce the risk of infection and transmission.There are many treatment methods for candidal vulvitis, but since patients may experience different symptoms, the treatment approaches vary accordingly. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek a prompt diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
