How long does it take to treat candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

I have had candidiasis for some time, and I am currently being treated for it. However, I feel that the effect is minimal. Given the current situation, it will take at least a long time to treat it. I can't stand it a little. I want to ask how long it takes to treat candidiasis?

Doctor's answer:

Candidal vulvovaginitis is very stubborn and prone to recurring, so it is essential to persist with medication for a period to treat it. During the acute phase, oral medication combined with intravaginal medication can be used for treatment. After the symptoms significantly improve, only intravaginal medication can be used, and it is still necessary to persist with the medication. During the intravaginal medication treatment period, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, and spicy foods, fish, shrimp, and sweet foods should be avoided. Regular follow-up tests are required.
