Patient's question:
How to treat candidal vulvovaginitis? What should I do? I'm very worried and scared.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by the infection of the bloodstream pathogen Candida albicans. It frequently recurs in women who use hormones and antibiotics for a long time, as well as in diabetic patients and pregnant women. The main routes of infection are masturbation, hot tubs, towels, and other items. The main symptoms include cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external genital itching.Oral fluconazole 150mg, vaginal medication Kelnite, or nystatin vaginal suppositories can be used for treatment. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, underwear should be changed frequently, and hygiene items should be sterilized by boiling water.
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a serious condition. Patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment according to their doctor's recommendations. It is also important to pay attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
