Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of candidiasis vaginitis? I have vaginitis, and my private area often itches. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a health check-up, and the doctor said I have candidiasis vaginitis. I want to ask what are the symptoms of candidiasis vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
The vaginal discharge is like cottage cheese, and the external itching is likely related to candidiasis. It is recommended that you undergo a routine vaginal examination to confirm the specific type of vaginitis for targeted treatment, and maintain external genital cleanliness and dryness. Avoid scratching, soaking in hot water, or using soap. Prevent prolonged sitting, wearing tight pants, or using sanitary pads, as these can keep the female private area constantly moist and warm. Combined with poor air circulation and difficulty in heat dissipation, this environment is particularly conducive to the growth of mold. Over time, this can lead to vaginal flora imbalance.Especially, some sanitary pads contain anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients. For healthy women, while completely eliminating vaginal pathogens, these ingredients can also damage beneficial bacteria, causing vaginal flora disruption.
