Patient's question:
I previously had cervical erosion and was told it would take some time to fully recover. During that time, I only took some anti-inflammatory medication. I want to know how to treat recurrent candidal vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, Candida albicans can lurk on the oral cavity, pharynx, intestines, skin, and vaginal mucosa of the human body, coexisting peacefully without causing disease. However, when the body's resistance increases, or when severe illnesses are present, there is a deficiency of cross-linked vitamin B, or long-term use of immunosuppressants, it can take advantage of the weakened state. Women with diabetes or those in early pregnancy have continuously increasing glycogen levels in their vaginal epithelial cells, which enhances the acidity in the vagina, facilitating the growth and adaptation of Candida. In severe cases, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered.
