Patient's question:
Hello, I haven't been feeling well recently and would like to consult about this disease. It's been a year, with recurring episodes. What should I do about candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a vaginal inflammation caused by fungal infection. Its typical symptom is a change in vaginal discharge resembling cottage cheese, followed by symptoms such as vaginal itching. In treatment, nystatin is commonly administered intravenously combined with nystatin suppositories. Recurrent infections are often related to incomplete treatment and cross-infection. It is recommended that, on one hand, treatment should be continued for one to two weeks after symptoms disappear to consolidate the therapeutic effect. On the other hand, close family members should be examined together to detect and treat the infection collectively. In addition to symptomatic treatment for vaginal inflammation, patients need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also be mindful of choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
