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, reportedly for candidiasis. If you suspect you have candidiasis, what should you do?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a type of vaginitis that can be treated with vaginal medication, oral medication, and laundry detergent to achieve self-healing. However, candidal vulvovaginitis is prone to recurrence. Additionally, women with candidal vulvovaginitis can transmit the infection 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 equate to self-healing, so medication should not be stopped arbitrarily.
