What should I do if the doctor prescribed medication for candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

I got a fungal vaginal infection two months ago, and the doctor prescribed medication for me to use for a period of time. Then I had a follow-up examination, and the doctor said I have cervical erosion. I’m overwhelmed! I don’t trust the doctor anymore. I want to ask what I should do and what medicine is effective for treating cervical erosion?

Doctor's answer:

Usually, cervical erosion is actually a common manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Due to the long-term persistence of chronic inflammation, the existing squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix peels off and is covered by fibrotic columnar epithelium from the cervical canal, appearing as red granular in appearance. Therefore, the current cervical erosion is merely the further expansion of vaginitis. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination to see the specific situation, and consider using anti-inflammatory drugs, suppositories, or rinses based on the results. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from sexual activity in the near future. Vaginitis is a very serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
