Patient's question:
Penis with small red bumps and blistersDoctor's answer:
The characteristics of candidal vulvovaginitis are recurrent episodes, particularly more pronounced before and after menstruation. To treat recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis, the first step is to eliminate the underlying causes that lead to repeated vaginal candidal infections, while shortening the treatment duration and employing multiple different treatment methods simultaneously. Local treatment can involve first using traditional Chinese herbal medicine for fumigation and sitz baths, followed by applying medication to the vagina, such as miconazole or clotrimazole vaginal tablets, and externally applying miconazole cream. Local treatment can be implemented throughout the entire menstrual cycle, with medication discontinued during menstruation and resuming treatment after the menstrual period is over.
