Patient's question:
How can fungal vaginal infection be completely cured? What methods should be used to treat fungal vaginal infection so that it can be fully recovered and no longer relapse?Doctor's answer:
The use of topical creams to treat candidiasis (yeast infection) is not particularly effective, as the unique internal structure of the vagina prevents creams from completely eliminating the yeast, leading to recurrent infections. The World Health Organization has included traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as one of the best treatments for candidiasis. TCM offers several advantages in treating this condition. First, TCM is the most reliable and safest treatment, with no side effects during use and no risk of developing drug resistance with long-term treatment. Additionally, TCM can boost the patient's immune system, enabling a complete cure. There are several treatment methods for vaginitis, but since the condition varies among patients, the chosen treatment must be tailored to the individual. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure proper treatment.
