Patient's question:
I am 15 years old. The doctor said I have candidiasis. I have been treated for two years, but it hasn't improved. The doctor said I have resistance. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is caused by a fungal infection, and fungi can thrive in the mouth, intestines, and vagina. When the vaginal environment is suitable, candidiasis may occur. As you mentioned, frequent recurrence suggests that if you frequently use antibiotics, it may lead to recurrent candidiasis. It is recommended to stop medication. You can take oral antifungal medication. Daily hygiene is important—wash the external genitalia with warm water to maintain cleanliness. After washing underwear, expose it to sunlight for drying. Do not wash underwear with socks together.
