Patient's question:
I went to visit my boyfriend from {Region: Shenzhen} on May 1st, and we had sex again. There was no sensation at the time. By May 15th, I got my period. After the period, I felt a bit itchy and had white discharge. I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, in mid-June, I had my second period, but it still didn't get better! Since it wasn't improving, I bought some medicine to wash myself. After washing, the itching stopped temporarily, but it returned after three days. This continued until mid-July, after my period. I went to the hospital for a check-up (because besides one girl in my dorm who had a vaginal infection, it was rumored to be contagious). The white discharge test showed Candida.Doctor's answer:
First, the lack of diligent medication after a recurrent case of candidiasis vulvovaginitis and the inability to completely treat the condition are important reasons for the repeated recurrence of the disease. After treatment, patients with candidiasis vulvovaginitis still need to undergo gynecological examinations and vaginal discharge tests at the hospital every time their menstruation ends, for a total of three consecutive times. If during this period, one test reveals signs of candidiasis infection, it cannot be considered fully cured, and there is a risk of relapse or reinfection, requiring focused treatment.
