Patient's question:
A good friend from university in the past, because she has always had some gynecological problems, but has never received effective treatment. Today, she went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that she might have candidiasis. So, she wants to ask how to prevent candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
If you want to prevent fungal vaginal infection, you should pay attention to exercising regularly to enhance your body's immunity. Avoid using broad-spectrum antibiotics for a long time without a doctor's advice, as this may lead to dysbiosis, destruction of the vaginal environment, and ultimately cause fungal vaginal infection. Try to avoid public swimming pools and maintain good hygiene of the genital area. Also, eat less spicy and irritating food. Pay attention to sexual hygiene as well. In addition to timely treatment for vaginal infection, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease, as this can improve their immunity and their belief in fighting the disease.
