Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have candidiasis. They cleaned my private area a bit and then inserted three pills. They said not to have sexual intercourse this week. I don't want to be treated anymore and need to have sexual intercourse this weekend. Is that okay?Doctor's answer:
The typical symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis are external genital itching, even severe itching, and cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge. According to your description, it is recommended to treat candidal vulvovaginitis thoroughly, as it is prone to recurring if not properly addressed. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided. The condition is quite severe, so it is advised that patients seek timely and appropriate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition. The above advice is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
