Patient's question:
Diagnosis of candidal vaginitis: Previous treatment and effectiveness: There has been pelvic inflammatory disease. Other: No matter what kind of help: Does candidal vaginitis infect men?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis tends to recur easily and can be transmitted between partners. Both partners should be treated simultaneously. Candidal vulvovaginitis is a common type of vaginitis, primarily caused by Candida albicans. The main symptoms are itching or burning pain in the outer genitalia. During the acute phase, there is an increase in vaginal discharge, which appears as curd-like or cottage cheese-like. Maintain good hygiene of the outer genitalia to prevent cross-infection. Appropriately use antibiotics and hormones.Treatment:
1. Use alkaline solutions such as 2–4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to wash the outer genitalia and vagina. This helps alter the vaginal pH to favor the growth of Candida. After washing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina.
