How to treat vulvar swelling caused by candidiasis?

Patient's question:

I had trichomoniasis before, now I'm using a liquid wash, and it's still open. Is this treatment okay? Do I still need to use vaginal suppositories and ointments?

Doctor's answer:

This disease is mostly caused by Candida infection, which is present in the skin, mucous membranes, and vagina of healthy individuals. Under certain conditions, Candida can invade the human body and cause inflammation. Its infection in the female reproductive tract often affects the vagina, leading to conditions such as candidal vaginitis and cervicitis. Patients with vaginitis can, while taking symptomatic medication, also use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily eating habits and never overeat.
