Patient's question:
Doctor, I felt uncomfortable between my legs yesterday, so I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination. The result showed candidiasis of the vagina. I don't know why I got this disease. My friend said it's very easy to get infected with this condition. I wonder if I got it from taking a bath in a public bath. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis patients exhibit increased vaginal discharge, itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia and vagina, painful urination, often redness and swelling around the external genitalia, and various epidermal changes. The treatment of candidal vaginitis is not difficult, but it frequently recurs, causing great distress to patients. To completely cure candidal vaginitis, on one hand, physicians should provide detailed instructions on medication methods and cure standards, and on the other hand, advise patients to be patient with treatment, undergo regular follow-up tests, and not be afraid of the inconvenience. After oral and topical treatments, symptoms will stabilize or disappear quickly, but this does not prove that candidal vulvovaginitis has been cured—it only means that the yeast has been temporarily suppressed.
