Patient's question:
I want to know why my candidiasis keeps recurring. I have visited several hospitals, and they all say it's candidal vaginitis. Can't it be completely cured? It started being uncomfortable in October 2008 and has been recurring ever since. Every time it hurts, it starts itching, and many small blisters appear on the vulva. The itching keeps me awake at night. After taking medication, it gets better, but it recurs after a short period of time.History of treatment and effectiveness: No expectation of a complete cure.
Doctor's answer:
Nowadays, many common molds found in clinical diagnosis are resistant, so routine medication may not be effective. It is recommended to re-examine the bacterial culture of vaginal discharge and conduct a drug sensitivity test to identify antibiotics that are effective against this type of mold. This way, targeted medication can be administered.During treatment, it is best to avoid sexual activity and pay attention to gynecological hygiene, changing underwear frequently. After symptoms disappear, it is advisable to continue medication for another week and then re-examine. If no mold is detected after three consecutive menstrual cycles, the vaginal infection has been cured.
In addition to immediate treatment, patients with vaginal infections should also maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you!
