Patient's question:
My good friend recently broke up with her boyfriend. She said it was because her boyfriend found out she had some kind of candidiasis. She's afraid of getting some kind of sexually transmitted disease. Really. Recently, she often asks me to drink beer, and I want to help her. Who among you has relevant experience with candidiasis? Do you have any good methods for treating it?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is prone to occur when the body is weakened. As long as the treatment is symptomatic, it is very easy to cure. After recovery, it is important to maintain external genital hygiene and dryness, avoid sharing towels or bathtubs with others, and do not wear nylon or similar fabric underwear. During the illness, used towels, underwear, and other items should be boiled and sterilized. Since this condition can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, sexual activity should be avoided during treatment. Both partners should be treated simultaneously to prevent cross-infection. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods can be adopted, as Western medicine treatment is prone to drug resistance, which can make the situation more complicated. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, dietary issues should be given more attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that patients with vaginitis can receive professional treatment.
