Patient's question:
I have a fungal vaginal infection, which has been going on for 3 months. I haven't treated it myself, but yesterday I felt it became worse, so I decided to go to the hospital for treatment. I'm very worried that it might not be cured. Could you please tell me how to completely cure a fungal vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis requires persistent medication under the guidance of a doctor, taking the full course as prescribed. It also necessitates joint treatment for both partners. Avoid indiscriminate use and abrupt discontinuation of medication. If recurrence persists despite these measures, physical therapy methods can be combined. During treatment, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided. Exercise regularly to enhance physical fitness and maintain a relaxed mood. At home, avoid douching or taking baths, and always keep the external genital area clean. Additionally, patients should adhere to these measures during the vaginal infection treatment period.
