Patient's question:
Candida vaginitis was diagnosed last year. I went to the hospital and was prescribed some medication, which cured it. However, it flared up again shortly after. I took the medication again. This situation occurred three times in a row, and I am truly suffering. How can candidal vaginitis be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello! For the complete treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis, local medication is recommended. It is essential to use antimicrobial drugs to thoroughly eliminate the fungus. It is advised that both partners undergo treatment simultaneously. During the treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent re-infection. Additionally, medication must not be skipped between 2 to 3 treatment cycles. Patients with candidal vulvovaginitis should avoid using sanitary pads and wearing tight-fitting pants in daily life. The daily treatment for vaginitis patients primarily focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to regular sleep patterns while abstaining from alcohol. We hope that vaginitis patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
