Patient's question:
In the past month, my vagina and vulva have been very itchy, and the odor has been quite strong. So last week, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. After the doctor's careful examination, the diagnosis was candidiasis. What medicine is best for treating candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by a fungal infection. The main symptom of this condition is vulvar itching, and the vaginal discharge is often white and curd-like. Some patients may experience painful intercourse and dysuria. This disease is prone to recurring. It is recommended that you maintain good hygiene and change your underwear during treatment. For medication, you can alternate between terbinafine and povidone-iodine vaginal suppositories, or use a dehumidifying, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving wash to clean the vulva. Vulvovaginitis can be quite severe, so it is advised that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to help alleviate the condition. The above information is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
