Patient's question:
I started experiencing it last week. My vagina has been itchy and painful, sometimes with discharge. I haven't had sex with my husband for several days. Also, my menstrual cycle is a bit irregular, with reduced flow. Yesterday, I had a gynecological examination at the hospital, and the doctor said I have candidiasis (yeast infection).How does candidiasis (yeast infection) occur?
Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a relatively common gynecological disease among women. It is generally caused by sexual cross-infection, vaginal flora imbalance, or weakened immunity in diabetic patients. Candidiasis can usually be treated with topical antifungal medications or oral medications for relief. Additionally, it is important to shorten the treatment duration and wash underwear and pants daily, followed by exposure to sunlight. Vaginal infections are difficult to recover from. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face the condition with optimism. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating vaginal infections and believe that recovery is certain.
