Patient's question:
Just diagnosed with candidal vulvitis. Had intercourse two days ago. How should it be treated? Also, does my husband need to be treated as well?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis and vulvitis are infectious conditions, and it is best for both partners to be treated to prevent cross-infection and recurring episodes. Generally, medication involves oral itraconazole or fluconazole, followed by vaginal cleansing with Honghe Fuzjie Cleansing Liquid, and then using miconazole or clotrimazole suppositories. Severe cases of candidal vulvitis require timely symptomatic treatment, and patients are advised to follow their doctor's recommendations. Additionally, proper self-care, including appropriate diet, should be emphasized to help alleviate the condition.
