Patient's question:
I have candidiasis, which I had last year. At that time, the medication and solution prescribed by the doctor worked quite well for me, and it got better later. It might be because I wasn't paying enough attention, and now my leukorrhea is abnormal with a foul odor, and my vagina is itchy severely. I'm afraid it might be a recurrence of the disease. I haven't gone to the hospital yet and don't know how to treat this condition.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis can be divided into three categories:General Treatment:
Active treatment can suppress other diseases associated with candidal vulvovaginitis and completely eliminate predisposing factors. Maintain external genital hygiene and keep them clean and dry to prevent scratching. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
Topical Medication:
Using a widely recognized topical medication like Salberina can treat vulvitis caused by fungal infection and alleviate symptoms of external genital itching. Salberina is typically administered before bedtime, avoiding use during the menstrual period.
Oral Medication:
Since fungal infection can be transmitted between partners through sexual activity, oral medication can be used to treat both individuals.
