Patient's question:
I am a person who pays attention to personal hygiene, but recently I've been feeling itchy in my private area and experiencing abnormal discharge. So today, I went to the hospital for a discharge test, and the diagnosis confirmed it was candidiasis. I'd like to ask how candidiasis is formed?Doctor's answer:
For candidal vulvovaginitis, it is primarily spread through sexual activity. This type of vaginitis may occur when individuals pay close attention to hygiene and frequently use gynecological cleaning solutions to wash the vagina, leading to the destruction of the normal vaginal flora and a reduction in vaginal resistance, making it easier to develop secondary infections. For this condition, targeted treatment is necessary. Generally, the treatment primarily involves vaginal douching and medication placement. Additionally, sexual activity is not allowed during the treatment period.
