Patient's question:
Vaginal itching, with cottage cheese-like discharge, had this disease last year, and it flared up again the day before yesterday. Hello, how can this disease be self-healed? How should my husband treat it?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is a manifestation of vaginal candidiasis, also known as candidal vulvovaginitis. The pathogen is Candida albicans, which grows particularly easily in acidic environments. It is generally spread through contact. Using alkaline solutions to clean the external genitalia and vagina can alter the vaginal pH, inhibiting the growth of Candida. During treatment, if cervical erosion is present, it should be prevented. Medications can be taken with soup to treat vaginal inflammation. If the condition is severe, it is recommended that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment according to their doctor's advice. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care training, proper diet, and avoiding worsening the condition.
