Patient's question:
I have a severe vaginal infection and have been suffering from it for a long time. I often go to the hospital, but it doesn't help, and it keeps recurring. The doctor's tests showed Candida and bacterial vaginosis. I searched online and found that Candida is easily adapted in acidic environments. Drinking more green tea can inhibit the adaptation of Candida?Doctor's answer:
Green tea is not medically supported. Treatment for newly diagnosed patients must be thorough. Incomplete initial treatment is a major cause of vaginal infection recurrence. The standard for recovery is negative white discharge tests after three menstrual cycles. Immediate family members should be treated simultaneously. Vaginal infections are often sexually transmitted diseases, and both partners should understand and undergo treatment to prevent mutual infection. Using condoms together would be even more effective. In addition to timely treatment for vaginal infections, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and strengthen their belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, focus on balanced nutrition, and ensure timely digestion of nutrients, believing that this will definitely drive away the vaginal infection.
