I had a check-up at the hospital last year and was told I have fungal vulvitis. What should I do?

Patient's question:

I had a thorough examination at the hospital last year and was diagnosed with fungal vulvitis. The vulva is painful, itchy, and swollen. It hasn't improved yet, and it keeps recurring. After finishing my menstrual pad, I insert medication every three days. I've been doing this for almost a year now. How is it still flaring up?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, frequently wearing synthetic leather pants and underwear, long-term use of corticosteroids, cross-infection between sexual partners, etc. Clotrimazole ointment for vaginal application, topical application of ketoconazole ointment, oral fluconazole tablets, pay attention to hygiene during this period, change underwear frequently, sterilize underwear, wear cotton underwear, prevent long-term use of antibiotics from inhibiting blood sugar, eat less spicy and irritating foods, sexual partners should be treated simultaneously if infected.
