Patient's question:
What does the mean in candidal vulvovaginitis? Is it serious? I feel so bad, please tell me, thank you!Doctor's answer:
According to your information, after reviewing your lab report, it indicates a fungal infection. The doctor who issued the order has noted this as abnormal, but there is no need to worry or be frightened. Fungal vaginitis is caused by a Candida albicans infection. Using nystatin tablets vaginally for 7 to 10 days, followed by a re-examination of vaginal discharge, will help understand the self-healing process. It is important to maintain clean external genitalia, pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and use soap for washing to prevent the recurrence of vaginitis. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications for treatment, as this may worsen the condition.
