Patient's question:
My girlfriend is a sophomore student, and she usually hangs her clothes in the balcony at school. This month, it has been snowing without any sunshine. Then, my girlfriend felt a bit itchy in her vagina and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. They said it was a fungal vaginal infection. Hello, is a fungal vaginal infection serious?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis severity is always present, primarily considering the manifestations of bacterial infection. It can be addressed by the following aspects:1. Antifungal medications, such as sodium bicarbonate rinsing.
2. Antifungal antibiotics, applied directly into the vagina, such as miconazole vaginal soft capsules or nystatin. These are relatively common treatments.
Minimize contact with greasy and spicy foods.
There are several treatment methods for vaginitis, but since patient symptoms vary, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is essential for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis to ensure targeted treatment.
