Patient's question:
Since getting married and becoming pregnant, I have been suffering from candidiasis of the vagina. During this period, I have also been understanding and treating the condition, but the symptoms have been recurring for a long time. Sometimes, after medication, the condition improves, but it flares up again after stopping the medication. I would like to consult a doctor on how to treat candidiasis of the vagina.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for the recurring outbreak of candidal vulvovaginitis are generally considered to be related to incomplete treatment, or the sexual partner being infected with Candida albicans, or factors affecting the body's immune function. For this condition:1. Antifungal medication can be placed in the vagina for treatment;
2. A course of medication lasting 7–10 days per menstrual cycle is recommended, with continuous treatment for at least three menstrual cycles;
3. The sexual partner should also be examined, and if infected, they need to be treated concurrently.
Additionally, during the treatment period for vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also important. The patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activity to avoid unnecessary harm.
