Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing persistent itching and a burning sensation in my vagina. My discharge has also significantly increased and appears like cottage cheese. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they diagnosed me with candidiasis (yeast infection). The doctor said it's necessary to undergo pelvic treatment. I want to know if pelvic treatment is required for candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, with an incidence rate second only to trichomoniasis. Approximately 80% to 90% of cases are caused by Candida albicans, primarily characterized by external genital itching and increased vaginal discharge. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for a thorough examination. In most cases, pelvic treatment is not necessary. In fact, it is not scary to have vaginitis. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the condition is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
