Patient's question:
Does candidiasis cause vaginal dryness? I accidentally got candidiasis before and have been treating it. But recently I found that I can't discharge fluid at all, and my vaginal walls are extremely dry. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis cannot be cured in the long term, and the repeated attacks of inflammatory secretions may lead to vaginal dryness. If a patient with vaginal candidiasis experiences recurrent vaginal dryness, it is a normal manifestation of the disease, but this condition is definitely abnormal. The patient should promptly visit a public hospital's gynecology department for a follow-up examination and further detailed tests to confirm the diagnosis. Drug sensitivity tests can be conducted to determine the sensitive antimicrobial drugs for infection treatment and promote recovery. Lubricants can be used during sexual activity to moisturize the vagina. Since vaginal is a serious condition, patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for proper treatment.
