Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling like my yeast infection has returned. It's so itchy inside my vagina. My discharge is like cottage cheese, white and not clear or translucent at all. My labia are slightly swollen and red, and I can't even walk without discomfort. Help me, doctor! I have a fungal vaginal infection, and it's so itchy. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is one of the more severe types of vaginitis. It can be transmitted between both partners, so men also need to be examined. If there are issues, they will also need to take oral medication for treatment. During the treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis, sexual activity should be avoided, spicy and irritating foods should not be consumed, and antibiotics should not be used indiscriminately, as these can all worsen the symptoms. In addition to symptomatic treatment for vaginitis, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
