Patient's question:
I will carefully check it. The doctor said I have candidiasis of the vagina. I took medication, but it hasn't fully healed yet. The doctor prescribed Clotrimazole vaginal tablets and Fluconazole dispersible tablets. So, can I drink beer or eat spicy food now?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended not to smoke or drink beer. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a common gynecological disease that primarily affects women of reproductive age. However, approximately 9-56% of patients may have no symptoms. It is advised to maintain hygiene during sexual activity and ensure that both partners are treated simultaneously. Clotrimazole and metronidazole are essential medications for treating vulvovaginal candidiasis and are very affordable. Both partners should use the solution for cleaning, and the male partner should also take medication and use the solution for cleaning. Men can take nitrofurantoin. If the candidiasis recurs frequently, traditional Chinese medicine such as Li Baonian Funijing Dan, combined with Compound Shenbai Cleansing Solution, can be considered. Generally, using it for three consecutive courses can help prevent recurrence. In fact, having a vaginal infection is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as it is detected early and treated promptly, the condition can be managed effectively.
