Patient's question:
Lately, my wife has been feeling something is not right? Her menstrual period has been increasing continuously, and her leukorrhea has also increased. Moreover, each time during her vaginal examination, it's unclear what kind of liquid is leaking out, and it looks like it might be a bacterial infection. So, I'm particularly worried and took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. It was found to be candidiasis of the vagina. Can candidiasis of the vagina heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a common gynecological disease that can be self-healed with medication. Generally, taking medication on schedule as prescribed by a doctor can be effective. However, some people with poor constitution may experience recurring infections despite treatment, often requiring oral and suppository medications along with regular follow-up tests. If the follow-up tests are normal for three consecutive months after the delayed menstruation, it is diagnosed as self-healed.It is important to maintain clean external genital hygiene, change underwear frequently, and boil and sun-dry the underwear. In addition, during the treatment of vaginitis, apart from immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of vaginitis.
