Patient's question:
I am 32 years old, female, and have been suffering from candidiasis for three years. From knowing nothing about it at the time to becoming somewhat of an expert after prolonged illness, I have gone through a long and painful phase. However, I have never found an effective treatment for candidiasis. I would like to ask the experts if there are any methods with particularly good results.Doctor's answer:
When treating, pay attention to the following points: (1) Once diagnosed, active treatment should be initiated with the aim of complete eradication. Otherwise, it may lead to non-healing, recurring relapses, and cause numerous troubles for the patient. (2) Personal hygiene should be maintained, with underwear changed frequently. Used underwear, basins, towels, etc., should be boiled and dried in the sun. (3) Antibiotics and hormone drugs should be used appropriately. Those with diabetes should actively treat the underlying condition. (4) Antifungal medication is primarily based on local application. Here is a home remedy that may help:Home Remedy:
