Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. How should I treat candidiasis vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candida is a single-celled fungus that is present in various parts of the human body, such as the skin, mucous membranes, and vagina. Under certain conditions, Candida can invade human tissues and cause inflammation. Infections of the female reproductive tract often affect the vagina, leading to inflammation of the external genital skin and mucous membranes, which is referred to as vulvovaginal candidiasis. In the past, it was also known as candidal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, or mold vaginitis. It is important to pay attention to not washing socks and underwear together, and to boil underwear that has been worn. Then, expose it to sunlight. Avoid consuming spicy foods that can affect the condition.
