Patient's question:
Hello, I am 27 years old this year. Last week, my husband accompanied me for a gynecological examination and learned that I have candidal vulvovaginitis. What is this disease? What kind of harm does it cause?Doctor's answer:
Candida is a single-celled fungus that is naturally found in the skin, mucous membranes, and vagina of healthy individuals. Under certain conditions, Candida can invade human tissues and cause inflammation. In women, its infection in the reproductive tract often affects the vagina. In addition to symptomatic treatment for Candida vulvovaginitis, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also be mindful of choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
