Patient's question:
I have had candidiasis for over ten years. Over these years, I have been taking medication continuously and have also used topical medications. However, the condition always recurs when I stop taking the medication, which is very frustrating. Therefore, I want to know how long it takes to treat candidiasis and how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Got a fungal vaginal infection? You can visit the gynecology department of a large, grade-A hospital in your area for follow-up treatment, and then follow the doctor's advice to take antifungal medication for symptomatic treatment. You may consider taking oral antifungal medication while also using local suppositories for treatment, which may yield better results. The treatment course typically lasts three months. It is recommended that both partners receive treatment (male and female treatment) to be more effective. Drink plenty of warm water and eat less sugary foods. If the vaginal infection is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
