Patient's question:
Treatment Methods for Candidal VulvovaginitisDoctor, I recently went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have candidal vulvovaginitis. There is itching near the vaginal opening close to the anus. I have white, curd-like discharge, and some medications haven't been effective. Doctor, how should I be treated? How can it be treated and prevented?
How is candidal vulvovaginitis treated and prevented?
Doctor's answer:
No matter what therapy is adopted, its purpose is to change the pH level of the vagina, because it is the fluctuation in vaginal pH that makes Candida very active, leading to inflammation. Traditional therapies generally involve using alkaline solutions to rinse the vagina (2% to 4% baking soda water) to suppress the growth of Candida, while also using vaginal medication, topical creams, and oral antibiotics to completely eliminate the pathogenic bacteria.Hello, this is an infectious inflammation. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and a thorough gynecological examination. Actively treat the condition, and during treatment, avoid sexual activity. It is also essential for both partners to be treated together. After the symptoms disappear, actively follow up with a hospital examination.
