Patient's question:
A month ago, I often felt itchy downstairs, and sometimes it felt wet. Later, I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination, and they said I had a fungal vaginal infection. In this past month, my condition got better and then relapsed, which really hurt me. So, how do you deal with recurrent fungal vaginal infections?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by endogenous infection, where the local resistance of the vagina is weakened, and the body's immune function is compromised, leading to the growth of fungal hyphae. Therefore, avoid spicy foods in daily life and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia to prevent moisture. You should check your blood sugar levels to see if they are elevated, as high blood sugar can also lead to recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis. For recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis, medication should be used cyclically under the guidance of a physician. Vaginitis is a condition that is difficult to recover from. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in combating the infection and believe that recovery is possible.
