Patient's question:
After giving birth for a year, recently I don't know what happened, there was white discharge like curd coming out from the vagina. Using a wash helped alleviate it somewhat. There is more discharge before and after menstruation each month, and intercourse is painful, which has severely affected my life. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and found it to be vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are typical of candidal vulvovaginitis, characterized by a curd-like or creamy discharge, accompanied by discomfort such as dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) and vulvar itching. Candidal vulvovaginitis is one of the most persistent types of vaginitis and requires active and standardized treatment. It is generally treated with local medication, systemic therapy, and the combination of local physical therapy to enhance the resolution of inflammation, which can assist in full recovery. Simple local medication alone is not very effective, so it is recommended to evaluate the treatment comprehensively. Vaginitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely and symptomatic treatment according to their doctor's recommendations. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
