Patient's question:
I have been feeling uncomfortable in the vaginal area for the past two days. Sometimes it itches, and I went to the gynecology department for a check-up. They said I had a fungal vaginal infection, which has been recurring repeatedly. I am very troubled, so how can I treat a fungal vaginal infection myself?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a condition that is difficult to fully heal even with treatment, let alone self-healing, as this scenario does not exist. Therefore, if the problem reappears, a thorough examination will require standardized and systematic medication. Candidal vulvovaginitis is prone to recurrence, so it is recommended to use medication for one week after each menstrual period for three consecutive months. Medication must be administered in a standardized and systematic manner. During the medication period, sexual activity should be avoided, and spicy or irritating foods should not be consumed.Vaginitis patients can, while understanding proper treatment, use home remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid irritating foods.
