Patient's question:
A week ago, I had vaginal itching, and sores on my labia reappeared. Later, I used a feminine hygiene spray, and it started to improve. But the itching is still there, so I went to the hospital again. The doctor said it was a fungal infection. What is this disease?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a common type of vaginitis, primarily caused by Candida albicans. This fungus normally resides in the vagina. When the sugar level in the vagina increases and the acidity rises, the bacteria rapidly adapt, leading to inflammation. It is more common in pregnant women, diabetic patients, and those receiving high-dose estrogen therapy.Change new and clean sterilized underwear daily. Re-examine after the menstrual period.
In addition to timely treatment for gynecological conditions, a patient's dietary status and psychological condition are also crucial. Patients must avoid excessive stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from gynecological diseases.
