Patient's question:
I used to frequently feel external genital itching, but I didn't take it seriously. However, recently it has become very severe—redness and swelling in the genital area, accompanied by itching, pain, and a burning sensation, making it difficult to sit or stand comfortably. My discharge is yellow and has a cottage cheese-like texture, and the itching keeps me awake at night. When I went to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as candidiasis (yeast infection), but the medication treatment keeps recurring.What kind of help is needed: How can candidiasis (yeast infection) of the external genitalia be treated?
Doctor's answer:
A-like discharge, vulvar itching are the main symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis! Treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis: 1. Pay attention to personal hygiene, always keep the vulva clean and dry; wash and change underwear frequently, do not share towels or bathtubs with others, and do not wear nylon or similar fabric underwear. During the illness, all used towels and underwear should be boiled and sterilized. 2. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during treatment, or use condoms to prevent cross-infection. During menstruation, avoid vaginal medication and sitz baths.
