Patient's question:
I don't know how I got candidal vulvovaginitis, it really worried my husband and me. I'm afraid it's a sexually transmitted disease and could be transmitted to my husband. We haven't had sex for several days. Now we are being treated, and it's almost healed, but we are still afraid of infection and haven't dared to live together. I just want to ask, is candidal vulvovaginitis acidic or alkaline in the vagina?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is usually acidic, as fungi dislike living in acidic environments and find it difficult to thrive in alkaline conditions. It is recommended that you follow the guidance of a doctor, take oral medication, and use vaginal suppositories simultaneously for three consecutive treatment courses. It is best to treat your husband at the same time. Additionally, underwear should be sterilized with hot water and exposed to sunlight to prevent the recurrence of fungal infections.Besides treatment, the patient's diet and psychological state are also very important during the course of vaginal inflammation treatment.
