Patient's question:
I feel a bit itchy in my private area, and my discharge is a bit abnormal, which makes me quite concerned. Later, I searched online a bit and suspected that I might have candidiasis. So now I think I should consult a doctor a few times. I want to ask how to cure candidiasis completely?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of candidal vaginitis are generally characterized by cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and intense itching of the external genitalia. If these two symptoms are present, it is highly likely that the infection is caused by Candida. A routine vaginal discharge test is usually required to identify the pathogen. Treatment for this condition can be challenging due to its persistence, tendency to recur, and potential for cross-infection. Therefore, both partners should be treated simultaneously, primarily using topical medications, supplemented with oral medication. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided. With active treatment, the condition can be cured. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment.
