Patient's question:
Vaginal candidiasis, the vaginal discharge should be like cottage cheese or creamy? Which is a more serious condition?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is primarily caused by deficiency of qi and blood, invasion of dampness, and downward flow of damp-heat. Generally, it is difficult for conventional drugs to (cure) this condition. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that "qi governs blood, and blood governs qi." Long-term deficiency of qi and blood leads to persistent candidal vulvovaginitis, causing significant mental stress and suffering for patients. Western medicine's conventional anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatments not only fail to (cure) the condition but also, due to prolonged use of antibiotics, result in drug resistance, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment. Therefore, it is essential to receive proper treatment to achieve a (complete cure).
