Patient's question:
Candidal vulvovaginitis often occurs, and each time it happens, I use Daktarin suppositories externally. Symptoms improve after using them for 2-3 days, and then I stop using them. It usually occurs after menstruation or sexual intercourse. I use medication every month, and this cycle has repeated for 3 years. How can I deal with the frequent recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
After taking medication for candidal vaginitis, clinical symptoms will stabilize quickly. However, this does not necessarily mean the infection has been completely cured. It is important to complete the full course of treatment for three cycles. Then, return to the hospital for a follow-up examination of symptoms, a gynecological examination, and a laboratory test of vaginal secretions. If all results are normal, it indicates recent recovery.Afterward, you should undergo the above tests once a month after your menstrual period ends for three consecutive months. If all results remain negative, it means the infection has been fully cured.
In addition to treating candidal vaginitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life. This can help strengthen their constitution and slow down the recovery process.
