How is candidiasis treated?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I went for a thorough examination because I felt a bit itchy in my vagina. The examination revealed that I have candidiasis vulvovaginitis. I would like to ask the doctor for your opinion: What is the most effective treatment for candidiasis vulvovaginitis?

Doctor's answer:

The recurrence of itching in the vagina may be related to a fungal infection of the vagina. Fungal vaginal infections are generally caused by poor hygiene, vaginal flora imbalance, or the use of antibiotics. Under the guidance of a doctor, antifungal medications can be prescribed for treatment, or vaginal douching can be used. It is strictly prohibited to have sexual intercourse during this time, and sexual activity should be avoided. If the condition is severe, oral antifungal medications can be taken concurrently.
