Patient's question:
Candidal vulvovaginitis hasn't occurred since taking medication last October, but it flared up again in October of this year and hasn't improved yet. Can this condition heal on its own? What medications are the best to use?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis, with proper and correct treatment, can often be fully cured, but it tends to recur easily. Once diagnosed, attention should be paid to preventing transmission, maintaining a proper diet, enhancing hygiene, and keeping the local area clean. Taking vitamin C, using potassium permanganate for wiping, and employing treatments such as Daktarin suppositories can often improve the condition. In fact, having vaginal candidiasis is not at all; patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the condition can be managed effectively.
