Patient's question:
Last year in the second half, because of my divorce, my life was a bit chaotic, and I often had sex with men. Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, sometimes with a burning sensation. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, they said I have a fungal vaginal infection. I want to know how to treat a fungal vaginal infection and whether it can be cured.Doctor's answer:
For candidal vulvovaginitis, there is a relationship with transmission through unclean sexual activity. This disease is primarily caused by infection with Candida albicans, which is a fungal infection and relatively persistent, making it prone to recurrence and cross-infection. Generally, it is difficult to achieve a complete cure, but with systematic treatment, most cases can be cured. First, it is important to avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. Under the guidance of a local doctor, topical medications should be used in conjunction with oral medications. The medication course is usually relatively long, and a negative result on a postmenstrual vaginal discharge test (after 2–3 menstrual cycles) is required to confirm a cure.
