Patient's question:
By some chance, I contracted candidiasis, saw a doctor, used Kangfu Special (two courses), and took Sporanox for 5 days. The symptoms improved, but then they returned 10 days before my next menstrual period. When I used the medication again, the symptoms cleared up. This cycle of recurrence continued—each month, the infection would flare up around 10 days before my period. Why does candidiasis keep recurring during this period?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis tends to recur frequently. It is a common type of vaginitis, usually caused by Candida albicans. The main symptoms are itching or burning pain in the outer genitalia. During the acute phase, there is an increase in vaginal discharge, which appears as creamy clumps or cottage cheese-like in texture. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genitalia to prevent cross-infection. Use antibiotics and hormones appropriately. During treatment, change and wash sterilized underwear daily. Re-examine after the menstrual period. If Mycoplasma is positive, active treatment can lead to recovery. Vaginitis is a condition that is difficult to resolve. Friends with the disease should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as this can boost their confidence in combating vaginitis and believe that recovery is certain.
