What is the reason for dry external genitalia during topical medication for candidal vaginitis?

Patient's question:

During the medication period for candidal vulvovaginitis, my labia minora feel dry. I wonder if the condition has worsened. Should I have a thorough examination tomorrow or wait a few days after stopping the medication?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is a fungal infection. After transmission, there is usually cheesy-looking discharge. So now that you don't have any discharge, it should not be a recurrence of the illness. It should be a result of stopping medication and thorough examination. However, you must complete the full course of treatment before rechecking. This type of infection is prone to recurring vaginitis, and this condition is not easy to cure.
Dear patient, you should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can you boost your confidence in combating vaginitis and believe that you will surely recover.
