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 fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Is candidal vulvitis easy to treat? How can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis is caused by an infection with Candida albicans. Treatment involves washing the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or Rivanol solution to thoroughly remove dirt, followed by soaking the foreskin and glans in a sodium bicarbonate solution. Additionally, an antifungal ointment such as clotrimazole cream, Fungizone cream, or miconazole cream should be applied to the glans for treatment. If symptoms affecting the urethra recur, oral nystatin or fluconazole can be taken for treatment. During the treatment process, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited to prevent cross-infection.The treatment methods for candidal vulvitis vary depending on the patient's condition, as different treatments are required for different cases. Therefore, patients need to be diagnosed as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
