Patient's question:
Auntie came to our house yesterday to look for my mom. I heard them talking in the room about having candidiasis and severe cervical erosion. Auntie kept crying there, saying how sad she felt and that she couldn't be cured. What should one do if they have candidiasis and severe cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis can be treated by rinsing the vagina with a mixture of baking soda and water, followed by locally inserting antifungal medication such as clotrimazole suppositories. For itchy external genital areas, clotrimazole cream can be applied. During treatment, oral antifungal medication should also be taken. Do not overworry—vaginal candidiasis is completely curable. Severe cervical erosion can first be treated with medication for a period of time. If the medication is not effective, physical therapy can be considered. Severe cervical erosion is also curable, and regular follow-up examinations are necessary.
