Patient's question:
In addition, there is also itching in the lower body. Sometimes, even while sitting at the office, I have to clench my legs together. If it can't be helped, I have to go to the restroom. What should I do if I have vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are typical of candidal vulvovaginitis, characterized by a curd-like or creamy discharge, accompanied by discomfort such as dyspareunia and vulvar itching. Candidal vulvovaginitis is one of the most persistent types of vaginitis, requiring active and standardized treatment. It is generally treated with local medication, systemic therapy, and the combination of local physical treatments to enhance inflammation resolution. This approach can assist in full recovery. However, relying solely on local medication is not very effective, so it is recommended to evaluate treatment options comprehensively. Vaginitis has a significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary considerations should be given attention, with a focus on a light diet, as this can help patients with vaginitis receive professional treatment.
