Patient's question:
Classmates have been experiencing lower abdominal pain recently, feeling restless while sitting or standing, and constantly feeling itchy and burning in their vagina. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be candidiasis (yeast infection). Doctor, I would like to ask what causes candidiasis? How should this type of candidiasis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is primarily treated with antifungal medication administered vaginally. If the condition is severe, in addition to vaginal medication, oral antifungal medication is also required to treat it jointly. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and both partners should be treated together, otherwise it may lead to repeated recurrence and result in non-healing. Drink more warm water, eat less sweet food, maintain good personal hygiene, and change underwear frequently. In addition to timely treatment of vaginitis, patients should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease, as this can improve their immunity and their belief in combating the illness.
