Patient's question:
Last time I went to the hospital, the doctor prescribed me two boxes of medicine, which helped a bit but didn't cure it completely. After this period, the condition worsened again. I'd like to understand a bit, and I sincerely ask for help: how can candidiasis be treated? I really hope that friends with experience can tell me what medicine to use for treatment.Doctor's answer:
The most prominent feature of candidal vulvovaginitis is its high susceptibility to occurrence. Candidal vulvovaginitis is primarily caused by an infection with Candida albicans, leading to vaginal inflammation. Treatment is primarily based on local medication, with commonly used drugs including clotrimazole vaginal suppositories, nystatin vaginal suppositories, etc. Antibiotics are strictly prohibited, and personal hygiene must be paid attention to. Cotton underwear should be chosen, or it should be boiled, and the treatment course must be sufficient to avoid the development of drug resistance. Vaginitis patients can, while receiving standard treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. Appropriate dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
