Patient's question:
My sister recently suffered from candidal vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. She took and used some medications, and has now fully recovered. I would like to consult a doctor. Can my sister completely clear up after suffering from candidal vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease? What should she pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis vulvovaginitis is caused by a fungal infection and is prone to occur, requiring extra attention in daily life. It is recommended that the sister reduce her intake of sweet foods and avoid overly spicy and irritating foods. Pay attention to hygiene, especially during sexual activity and menstruation. Change underwear daily and wash clothes thoroughly. After removing underwear, boil them in hot water and then dry them in the sun. Personal hygiene items should be used exclusively by the individual. Three days after menstruation ends, visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination. Only after three consecutive negative test results can it be considered cured. In fact, having vaginitis is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
