Patient's question:
Doctor, I am very particular about personal hygiene and wash my vaginal area every day, and I also change my shorts frequently. However, recently I have been experiencing vaginal itching and discharge. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have a fungal vaginal infection. I would like to ask the doctor a few questions: What causes this fungal vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis is caused by bacterial infections or improper local hygiene. First, it is important to pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene during daily life. You can frequently use anti-inflammatory drugs or baking soda for cleaning. Pay attention to keeping your external genitalia dry and change your underwear and pants frequently. Especially during treatment, sexual intercourse is not recommended, as it is very easy to cause cross-infection. The daily treatment for vaginitis patients mainly involves medication. Patients can take oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines and avoiding alcohol. We hope that vaginitis patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
