Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my vagina. After using the restroom, I experience a burning sensation in my vagina, and my discharge has increased. The ring-shaped liquid is very abnormal. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of my discharge and found that I have candidiasis of the vagina. This has made my sex life with my husband unsatisfactory. I really want to C, completely cure the candidiasis of the vagina. How can I treat the recurring candidiasis of the vagina effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of fungal vaginitis can be approached through either purely Western medical treatment or a combination of Western and traditional Chinese medicine. Active treatment may lead to other fungal vaginitis conditions. It is essential to completely eliminate susceptible factors, maintain external genital cleanliness and dryness, prevent cuts, and avoid sexual activity during treatment. It is advisable not to consume irritating spicy foods. The vaginal pH level that changes is the most favorable for the growth of Candida, therefore, using alkaline solutions to clean the external genitalia and vagina can alter the vaginal pH and inhibit the growth of fungi.
