Patient's question:
I have been experiencing some liquid discharge from the vaginal area for the past few weeks. Sometimes I feel the vagina is wet and itchy. Yesterday, I had a gynecological examination, and the doctor said I have a fungal vaginal infection. So, how should fungal vaginal infection be treated?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is one of the more difficult types of vaginitis to treat because it tends to recur frequently. To effectively treat and achieve complete recovery, vaginal medication should be used in conjunction with oral medication. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided, and spicy or irritating foods should not be consumed. Additionally, since candidiasis can be transmitted between partners, it is advisable for men to undergo examination as well. If they are infected, they should also be treated to prevent cross-infection.There are several treatment methods for vaginitis, but since each patient's condition is different, the chosen treatment approach may vary. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure appropriate treatment.
