Patient's question:
I have been masturbating since I was a child. I have always felt discomfort down there, and I never paid much attention to it. Recently, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that I have acute candidal vulvovaginitis. I would like to ask, what should I do about acute candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute fungal vaginitis generally recurs with creamy white discharge, severe external genital itching, and in some cases, painful intercourse and external genital ulcers. After a clear diagnosis, oral antifungal medications and topical vaginal infection treatments can be administered. Treatment typically requires at least one week of medication, and it is important to adhere to the prescribed course without stopping abruptly. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided. Additionally, avoid taking antibiotics without medical advice.In addition to timely treatment for vaginitis, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the condition. This approach ensures timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, it is essential to pay attention to dietary care, focusing on a balanced and light diet.
