Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year. Recently, I felt that my leukorrhea was a bit abnormal, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. I was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis, and I didn't even know how I got it. How do you get candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it seems you have a fungal vaginal infection, which is a common gynecological condition often characterized by cottage cheese-like discharge. There are many possible causes for this condition. Neglecting personal hygiene, washing socks and underwear together, and fungal infections like athlete's foot can all contribute to it. I recommend using topical medication suppositories for treatment. In the near future, pay close attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear frequently, and use a clean, separate basin to wash your external genital area. Washed underwear should be exposed to sunlight for drying. For severe cases of vaginal infection, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's recommendations for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this could worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
