Patient's question:
Treatment cost for candidiasis vulvovaginitisThe doctor said I have candidiasis vulvovaginitis. It is said that this condition is not easy to treat. Is there no better method?
How to treat candidiasis vulvovaginitis? Can we have sex? Will it be contagious?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, Candida albicans can lurk on the oral cavity, pharynx, intestines, skin, and vaginal mucosa of the human body, coexisting peacefully without causing illness. However, when the human immune system strengthens, or when severe diseases are present, there is a deficiency of cross-linked vitamin B, or long-term use of immunosuppressants, it can take advantage of the weakened state. It is recommended to seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, masturbation is prohibited, underwear should be changed daily, washed, and boiled to sterilize. It is also better for the male partner to be treated simultaneously. Shoes and socks should be separated from underwear for washing. It is advisable to wear condoms during sexual activity. Otherwise, it is easy to relapse. The reasons for relapse are generally incomplete treatment and reinfection from a sexual partner.
