Patient's question:
I have had candidiasis for more than four months, and during this time, I have been continuously using medication for treatment, both oral and topical, but it hasn't been fully cured. Now, there is still some discharge, the vagina frequently itches, and there is also an unpleasant odor downstairs. Can candidiasis cause any complications?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis, if not treated promptly, can lead to some complications. These complications often occur concurrently with cervical inflammation and pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as with trichomoniasis. In addition to potentially causing symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency due to vaginal inflammation, this is mainly because the inflammation leads to an increase in vaginal discharge, which flows out of the vaginal opening and affects the urethra and urethral opening. At the same time, after a woman contracts vaginal inflammation, she may also face serious consequences such as infertility. In addition to seeking timely treatment for vaginal inflammation, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and strengthen their ability to fight the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms.
