How is candidal vulvovaginitis treated?

Patient's question:

Previously had an induced abortion. Before the miscarriage, there was a secondary Candida infection, and medication was used for three days to induce the miscarriage. A gynecological examination was conducted half a month after the abortion, and Candida was once detected. After two courses of medication, a re-examination showed no Candida. Subsequently, a gynecological examination three days after three menstrual cycles showed no Candida, and condoms were used for all sexual intercourse. Last month, I wanted to conceive again and did not use condoms, but after sexual intercourse, Candida appeared again. How is Candida vulvovaginitis treated?

Doctor's answer:

Considering candidal vulvovaginitis, the main symptoms include vaginal itching, abnormal discharge, and a foul odor. It is recommended to take metronidazole or Daktarin vaginal suppositories for treatment. At the same time, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, and the male partner should also be treated concurrently. For severe cases of candidal vulvovaginitis, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as it may worsen the condition.
