Patient's question:
At first, a careful examination revealed severe cervical erosion in addition to candidal vaginitis. Later, after two courses of medication, the cervical erosion had improved to mild. The doctor said it was because the candidiasis caused the cervix to develop pseudomembranous erosion again, with an expanded range. Now that the candidal vaginitis is gradually healing, the degree of cervical erosion has become lighter. Is this the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is likely caused by a fungal infection. Upon careful examination, there is swelling of the external genitalia, with the epidermis being detachable, and there may be scratch marks. The inner side of the labia minora and the vaginal mucosa are covered with white membranous substances, and after removal, the vaginal mucosa appears red, swollen, or has erosions and superficial ulcers. The typical symptoms include white, clumpy, and curd-like discharge, with a foul odor.Precautions:
1. Maintain cleanliness: During treatment, masturbation is strictly prohibited. Change underwear daily and keep the external genitalia clean, breathable, and dry.
2. Treat both partners: This condition is transmitted sexually, and sexual partners are also likely to be infected. Treating both partners simultaneously can prevent recurring infections.
