Patient's question:
These past few days, I've had a continuous high fever, and the fever-reducing medicine hasn't helped at all. Additionally, my lower abdomen is swollen, red, and hot, and I've also developed some white blisters. Besides the yellowish-brown discharge from the vaginal opening, the doctor said it's viral vaginitis. I want to know how to effectively treat this condition.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis, as the name suggests, is caused by a virus. This condition is self-limiting, typically resolving within 1-2 weeks. Treatment options include intravenous acyclovir or oral administration. The goal of treatment is to prevent future episodes, while the principle is to prolong the course of the disease to prevent secondary infections and recurrence. During the course of treatment, it is important to avoid sexual activity, and the diet should be light, avoiding spicy or other irritating foods. In fact, vaginal candidiasis is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided at an early stage, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
