How should candidiasis be treated?

Patient's question:

In October, there was a one-time infection, and then about ten days later, it started to hurt. It was a fungal vaginitis that lasted for more than two months. Previously, I hadn't noticed whether the labia minora had small flesh folds. I just noticed that there are small flesh folds on the inside of the labia minora, on both sides, and they can be pulled. Besides the papules near the urethra, yesterday I applied white vinegar, and the inside of the labia minora turned white for a while and then returned to its original color. Is it genital warts? The photo can't see the small flesh folds on the labia minora.

Doctor's answer:

According to the careful examination results, the situation suggests bacterial vaginosis, and it can be considered to use metronidazole vaginal suppositories for one week. It is recommended to pay attention to external genital hygiene and sexual hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, wear loose cotton underwear, prevent catching cold, and wash underwear with boiling water and expose them to sunlight. Vaginosis is a very serious condition, and it is suggested that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can receive symptomatic treatment according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care training and proper diet to avoid worsening the condition. The above answer is hoped to be helpful. Thank you.
