Patient's question:
Our company has a female colleague who is currently undergoing training at our company. She has been here for five years. It is said that she already has two children at the age of 35. However, recently she mentioned that she needs to visit the hospital, and it is rumored that she has a fungal vaginal infection. If you suspect you have a fungal vaginal infection, what should you do?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a type of vaginitis that can be treated with vaginal medication, oral medication, and laundry detergent to achieve self-healing. However, candidiasis is prone to recurrence. Additionally, women with candidiasis can transmit it to men, so it is best for both partners to be treated simultaneously to avoid cross-infection. Regardless of the type of vaginitis, symptom relief does not equal self-healing, so medication should not be stopped arbitrarily.
