Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How is candidal vulvitis treated, and what precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a type of vaginitis caused by fungal infection. Symptoms include intense itching of the external genitalia, even purulent pain, vaginal burning pain, which is more pronounced during urination. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid using tub baths or soaking in baths to reduce infection and transmission. The discharge appears as white curd-like or cottage cheese-like material, and the vaginal walls are covered with white pseudomembranes. After wiping, the mucosa appears red. Treatment primarily involves local vaginal lavage and medication. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid using tub baths or soaking in baths to reduce infection and transmission.
