Patient's question:
How should degree 2 candidal vaginitis be treated? Recently, my sexual life hasn't been very regular, and I had a lot of fun with friends, using some sex toys. The past two days, I suddenly felt severe pain in my vagina. The doctor said it's candidal vaginitis. Do I need to take some anti-inflammatory drugs to heal on my own?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis should not be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, as taking anti-inflammatory drugs is one of the reasons that can lead to vaginal candidiasis. To treat vaginal candidiasis, it is first necessary to remove the causative factors, reduce symptoms, and alter the pH of the vagina. Medications for treatment should involve taking drugs specifically designed to treat candidiasis orally, combined with external use, to achieve self-healing. It is best for both partners to undergo thorough examination and treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided.In addition to medication for vaginal candidiasis, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also be mindful of choosing a regular hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
