Patient's question:
I have vaginitis, which has been going on for two or three years. During this time, I have been treating it myself with medication. I have recovered many times in the process, but it always recurs. The other day, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that my vaginitis is fungal. I want to know why fungal vaginitis never gets better?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is confirmed that there is a fungal vaginal inflammation, it is very easy to cause recurrence, and repeated reinfection is common. If fungal vaginal inflammation is confirmed again, active oral antifungal medication should still be taken in conjunction with local vaginal suppositories for treatment. During the treatment period, it is still recommended to temporarily strictly prohibit sexual activity. After the menstrual cycle, another course of treatment should be implemented. If necessary, both partners should receive treatment together.
