Patient's question:
Recurrent vaginal candidiasis has been treated at various hospitals, but it cannot be completely cured. Apart from taking anti-inflammatory drugs, using topical washes, and inserting medication, is there any good treatment method?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis are typically characterized by white, curd-like vaginal discharge, which can form a white film that adheres to the inner and outer labia minora and vaginal mucosa. Pruritus of the external genitalia often spreads gradually from the inner labia minora to the external genital area, causing intense itching that patients often find unbearable. Avoid using body deodorants, alkaline soaps, or bath products containing perfume, as these can irritate the vaginal area. Wear cotton underwear and avoid pantyhose as much as possible. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Do not switch medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to counterproductive effects.
