Patient's question:
I have always been very healthy, but since getting married, I have also paid special attention to hygiene. However, recently I have been experiencing excessive white discharge, along with a fishy odor, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. I am a bit worried, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have candidiasis (yeast infection). How is candidiasis treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, for candidal vulvovaginitis, the primary treatment still involves the use of antifungal drugs for a three-drug regimen, which has relatively good effects. If the candidal vulvovaginitis is severe, oral antifungal drugs should be combined for treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, and it is best for both partners to be treated. Drink warm water, eat plenty of fresh vegetables, and reduce the intake of sweet and greasy foods. Change underwear frequently, boil underwear in hot water, expose it to sunlight, and conduct regular follow-up tests, including cervical mucus tests.In addition to treating vulvovaginitis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
