Patient's question:
I have had a fungal vaginal infection for two months. Now, there is severe pain inside the vagina during urination, in addition to the burning sensation. The medication has not improved the condition at all. I want to ask what could be the reason? Thank you.Question Digestion: I am asking whether these symptoms are indicative of a fungal vaginal infection and why the medication has not worked despite being used for two months.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the reasons for the recurring recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis can be summarized in the following aspects: First, the lack of strict medication adherence after a recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis, which fails to provide a complete cure, is a major reason for the disease's recurring. After treatment, candidal vulvovaginitis patients still need to undergo gynecological examinations and vaginal discharge tests at the hospital every time their menstrual cycle ends, for a total of three consecutive times. If during this period, one instance of signs of Candida infection is detected, it cannot be considered a full recovery, but rather a relapse or reinfection, requiring focused treatment.
