Patient's question:
I have candidiasis, and I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine recently. I want to ask if I can eat fermented tofu while taking traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
In your case, if it's a vaginal infection, it's best to use external medication in conjunction for treatment, as it has fewer side effects and is more effective. Oral medication and systemic medication have significant side effects. Stinky tofu should be fine. It's recommended that you eat less spicy food, quit smoking and drinking, and drink more water regularly. Try to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia and have regular follow-up examinations. Vaginal infections are not easy to resolve. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face the condition with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in fighting the infection and believe that recovery is certain.
