Patient's question:
I haven't been feeling well recently, and I've experienced frequent urination, urgency, and itchy urethra again. I'm very concerned. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the result was candidiasis of the vagina. I want to know what should be done about candidiasis of the vagina.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis or candidiasis vulvovaginitis, also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis, is a common and easily occurring inflammatory disease of the vulva and vagina caused by Candida. The most common pathogen is Candida albicans, with opportunistic pathogens primarily causing endogenous transmission. For simple vulvovaginal candidiasis, local medication is the basis of treatment, and symptoms usually subside or disappear within 2-3 days of medication. Clotrimazole vaginal suppositories, used every other day for a total of two times. Regarding the treatment of complex vulvovaginal candidiasis, the chosen medications are generally the same as for simple vulvovaginal candidiasis. Regardless of whether local or systemic medication is used, the treatment duration should be appropriately shortened.
