Patient's question:
I recently always feel itchy outside the vulva, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The result showed that I had candidal vulvovaginitis. Then I took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but now it's all finished, and it still hasn't improved. Doctor, how is candidal vulvovaginitis treated, and what medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is primarily caused by infection with Candida albicans, which is a fungal infection. This type of infection is generally stubborn, so the treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis mainly involves the use of topical vaginal medications. Vaginal douching and the use of vaginal suppositories can be employed, and these can be supplemented with oral antifungal medications. Generally, specific medications should be taken according to medical advice, and personal hygiene should be paid attention to.
