Patient's question:
I have been feeling uncomfortable in the vaginal area for the past two days. Sometimes it itches, and I went to the gynecology department for a check-up. They said I had a fungal vaginal infection, which has been recurring repeatedly. I am very troubled, so how can I treat a fungal vaginal infection myself?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a condition that is difficult to heal completely, even with treatment, let alone when attempting to let it heal naturally, which is not possible in this case. Therefore, if the problem reappears, it requires a thorough examination and the use of standardized systematic medication. Candidal vulvovaginitis is prone to recurrence, so it is recommended to use medication for one week after each menstrual period for three consecutive months. Medication should be administered in a standardized and systematic manner, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided.Vaginitis patients can understand the importance of standardized treatment while using home remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. A balanced diet should be maintained to avoid irritating foods.
