Patient's question:
I have had recurrent attacks for over two years. During the attacks, the main symptoms are vaginal itching and a curd-like discharge.Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidal vulvovaginitis is prone to recurring easily. The body's resistance is low before and after menstruation, making it easy to relapse. Generally, candidal vulvovaginitis is considered completely cured only if three consecutive tests are negative after symptoms disappear.Candidal vulvovaginitis requires standardized and systematic treatment under the guidance of a doctor, selecting sensitive medications. At the same time, it is important to actively treat other diseases that can cause candidal vulvovaginitis and eliminate predisposing factors.
Keep the external genital area clean and dry, and avoid scratching. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Pay attention to personal hygiene. During the illness, change underwear frequently, sterilize them by boiling in boiling water for 5–10 minutes, and expose them to sunlight to eliminate pathogens. Use personal bathing utensils to prevent cross-infection.
Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment. Married individuals should check if their partner is also infected and seek simultaneous treatment if necessary.
I hope this helps you.
