Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me how candidiasis vulvovaginitis is treated with continuous therapy? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Candidiasis is the most common vaginal disease. Medications are often ineffective in completely eliminating the fungus, so it is recommended to seek medical treatment from a hospital. Good hygiene habits should be maintained in daily life. Be cautious of infection and pay attention to keeping the external genital area clean. Avoid sexual activity during menstruation. Underwear should preferably be made of cotton, soft, and have good breathability. Additionally, laundry should be changed daily, and the external genital area should be wiped with warm water every day. The basin and towels used for wiping the external genital area should be sterilized with boiling water. Laundry and underwear should be dried in the sun. Patients with candidiasis can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment alongside professional treatment while understanding the importance of it. A proper diet should be maintained in daily life to avoid irritating foods.
