Patient's question:
I have candidiasis, and I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine recently. I want to ask if I can eat while taking traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
In your case, if it's a vaginal infection, it's best to use external medications in combination for treatment, as they have fewer side effects and are more effective. Oral medications and systemic treatments have larger 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. It's important to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia and undergo regular follow-up examinations. Vaginal infections are not easily resolved. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face the condition with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in fighting the infection and increase the likelihood of recovery.
