Patient's question:
My wife has some discomfort in her vagina. Yesterday, she had a thorough examination at the hospital and found it to be candidiasis (yeast infection). I wonder if it has anything to do with the weather here. It hasn't been sunny for these past few days, and things like underwear haven't been exposed to ultraviolet light for sterilization. Hello, how should candidiasis be treated, and what medicine is good for it?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis and weather conditions have no direct relationship. The cause of candidiasis is an inflammatory condition of the vaginal mucosa due to infection with Candida albicans. The inability to properly dry underwear for sterilization is one of the reasons for the recurring occurrence of candidiasis. The treatment for candidiasis is primarily based on antifungal medications, such as inserting nitrofurantoin miconazole tablets or fluconazole into the vagina. The husband should also be examined, and if infected, treatment should be administered. There are several methods for treating vaginitis, but the treatment approach varies depending on the patient's condition.
