Can candidiasis recur after a year of recovery?

Patient's question:

I don't know if it was caused by sexual activity. A year ago, I got a fungal vaginal infection. Later, after some effort, the fungal vaginal infection was cured. After a year of self-healing, I tested for 3 months. During this time, neither you nor I had sex with your husband. I don't know if it will flare up again in the future?

Doctor's answer:

If you have previously experienced moldy vaginal inflammation, it is still necessary to actively undergo examination and treatment. Under normal circumstances, if your vaginal discharge is currently in good condition, the possibility of vaginal inflammation is still quite small. It is acceptable to temporarily implement careful observation. Normal sexual activity will basically never definitely lead to the recurrence of local vaginal inflammation. Therefore, it is acceptable to temporarily implement careful observation. Periodic re-examinations are sufficient. For patients, if the condition of vaginal inflammation is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to the recurrence of vaginal inflammation. In addition, patients also need to maintain a proper diet and keep a cheerful mood.
