Patient's question:
I have a gynecological condition, and I am aware of it. However, I am seeking further examination to determine exactly what the gynecological condition is. It turns out to be a yeast infection, which is a bacterial infection. I don't change my underwear very frequently and haven't paid much attention to hygiene. What should I do about the yeast infection?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is very common, and many cases are spread through sexual activity. Moreover, candidal vulvovaginitis is highly prone to recurrence; if the body's immune resistance increases or initial treatment is not thorough, it can lead to repeated infections. For this type of vaginitis, the first step should be to treat both sexual partners simultaneously, such as using clotrimazole. Additionally, it is important to maintain good hygiene, engage in appropriate physical activity, and boost immunity.In addition to medication for treating vaginitis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
