Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. How can I treat candidiasis vaginitis effectively?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, also known as monilial vulvovaginitis, can be treated by cleaning the vagina with alkaline solutions or taking sitz baths, or through medication. However, it is absolutely essential not to self-medicate. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to check for the presence of other pathogens before treatment. If there is sexual activity, both partners should be tested and treated simultaneously to prevent cross-infection. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Since this condition tends to recur easily, it is advisable to use medication for 3 to 6 months and undergo follow-up examinations at the hospital periodically. If the results are negative for three consecutive times, it is considered normal.In addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also particularly important during the treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the recovery of candidal vulvovaginitis.
