Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable in my vagina, with some pain and occasional discomfort. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told it's a fungal vaginal infection. I'd like to consult on how to treat a fungal vaginal infection and what medication to take. I don't have any bad habits, and I also want to understand how I might have contracted this condition.Doctor's answer:
For candidal vulvovaginitis, it is generally primarily related to one's own resistance and immunity. This disease is mainly transmitted through sexual activity, and it is mainly caused by infection with Candida albicans. For fungal infections, it is mainly treated with topical medications, while oral medications should be used in conjunction. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, and it is best for both partners to be treated to prevent cross-infection.
