Patient's question:
Candida vaginitis, what to eat more of, and what to avoid? I have had candidal vaginitis for many years and have taken some medication, but it always feels like the effect isn't very good. Does this condition require dietary restrictions? What should I eat more of to help with the condition? What should I avoid? Are there any other methods besides medication?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is very stubborn and prone to recurrence. Oral medication is not very effective, so topical medication in the vagina is usually chosen, along with the use of sodium bicarbonate solution for rinsing. Systematic treatment should be followed according to the prescribed course. The medication should be taken continuously for three months. During the medication period, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided. After completing the treatment course, it is essential to undergo a follow-up check, including a routine vaginal discharge test, to see if the candidiasis has cleared. The daily treatment for vaginal patients primarily involves oral medication.
