How to deal with recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

Recurrent candidiasis is always recurring, what should I do? I have had this condition for a year, and during this time, I have taken many medications and used many vaginal douches, but I still experience external genital itching, abnormal discharge with a foul odor. I just graduated from university this year, and I am afraid it will interfere with my future career.

Doctor's answer:

A single incomplete treatment of candidal vaginitis is very easy to recur. It is recommended to follow the prescribed course of treatment, which requires three cycles, each lasting seven days. During the treatment period, pay attention to hygiene and maintain clean and dry external genitalia. Maintain a positive mood. Change underwear frequently, eat less spicy and cooling foods, and quit bad habits. Maintain a regular lifestyle. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during the treatment period.
