How is Candidal Vulvovaginitis Caused?

Doctor's answer:

1. Use a 2% to 4% baking soda solution to rinse the vagina once or twice daily. A 2-week period constitutes one course of treatment. After rinsing, dry the external genitalia and maintain them dry at all times to inhibit the growth of Candida.
2. After rinsing, you may insert Nystatin tablets deep into the vagina once nightly, with a dosage of 50,000 to 100,000 units per tablet. A 7- to 10-day period constitutes one course of treatment. Alternatively, you may also apply Daktarin cream to the external genitalia.
3. Oral medication: Since fungal infections can be transmitted between partners through sexual contact, oral medication can be administered to both individuals for treatment. Oral medication can also inhibit intestinal Candida. Fluconazole oral: Take 150 mg once daily.
