Patient's question:
These days, when I'm intimate with my husband, I often feel pain in my genital area, specifically a stinging sensation in the vagina. I don't know what's causing it. Besides feeling itchy during times when I'm not exercising, I also experience urinary difficulties. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as vulvitis. What are the dangers of fungal vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a stubborn gynecological disease. Simply using medication is difficult to alleviate it completely, and it is prone to recurrence. It can also be transmitted through sexual activity, so it is best for both partners to undergo thorough examination and treatment to avoid cross-infection. This can lead to external genital itching, even purulent pain, vaginal burning pain, which is more pronounced during urination, or symptoms such as frequent urination, dysuria, and pain during intercourse, along with viscous discharge. In addition to treating candidal vulvovaginitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
