How to treat candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

Candidal vaginitis was relieved after using a box of nitrofurantoin and clindamycin vaginal capsules, but I didn't go to the hospital for a follow-up check. My vaginal discharge is the same as before. Do I still need to take medication? Has it already been cured?

Doctor's answer:

Candidal vulvovaginitis, after medication treatment, all discomfort symptoms disappear, and leukorrhea also completely returns to normal, which proves recovery. It needs to be noted that candidal vulvovaginitis is prone to recurring. Currently, in this situation, there is no need for a thorough examination, but it is essential to pay close attention. Once discomfort symptoms reappear, timely re-examination should be conducted to prevent recurrence. For patients, if the condition of vaginitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vaginitis. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
