Patient's question:
Normal leukorrhea test, but the doctor recommended a TCT test, which I took. The results showed moderate inflammation and candidiasis infection. The doctor said I have candidal vaginitis, but I'm confused. How can I have candidal vaginitis with normal leukorrhea? So I went to another hospital, a major one in Shanghai, and had my leukorrhea rechecked carefully. The results were normal. The doctor said that without symptoms like itching, it doesn't count as candidal vaginitis. This doctor is quite old. What's going on here?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is a relatively common gynecological disease, and candidiasis is one of the more prevalent types. Candidal vaginitis is a common gynecological inflammation that poses a threat to women's health today. Once a woman contracts candidal vaginitis, it can lead to vaginal itching, odor, and an increase in discharge. In severe cases, it may even cause vaginal bleeding. Pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain clean and dry external genitalia; frequently wash and change underwear, and do not share towels or bathtubs with others. Vaginitis is a condition that is not easily resolved. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in combating vaginitis and increase their chances of recovery.
