Patient's question:
My cousin got candidiasis of the vagina. She asked what caused it and whether it was because she lives with her boyfriend. My cousin said no, it might be because her constitution is weaker. I'm planning to visit her, but I don't know what kind of drink would be good to bring for her.Doctor's answer:
Dietary Precautions:(1) Avoid spicy foods. Consuming excessive spicy foods can easily cause dry heat, leading to the accumulation of internal heat and toxicity, which may recur symptoms such as itching and pain in the anterior and posterior orifices, thereby worsening the condition.
(2) Avoid seafood that promotes inflammation. Delicacies like yellow croaker, shrimp, and crabs can exacerbate damp-heat, and their consumption may relieve external genital itching and aid in the resolution of inflammation. Therefore, they should be avoided.
(3) Avoid sweet and greasy foods. Greasy foods such as lard, butter, and tallow should be avoided.
