Patient's question:
Hello! I have had candidiasis for a year, and it keeps recurring. It gets better when I'm on medication, but it flares up after my period. You mentioned that Chinese medicine can heal it on its own—is it taken orally or applied externally?Doctor's answer:
This condition involves recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis. It is recommended that after initiating treatment beyond the natural fungal healing period, stable treatment should be provided for one year. Alternatively, based on the pattern of recurrence, local medication can be administered before each episode to maintain stable treatment. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of vaginitis.
