Doctor's answer:

Your symptoms and the careful examination results can be confirmed as candidiasis. Your treatment plan is correct, but please note that it is generally a 7-day course. After 7 days, you should have a follow-up examination. Once your symptoms disappear for 2 weeks, you will need a third examination for candidiasis. Treatment can only be considered complete after full recovery.
At the same time, it is recommended that your husband also undergoes an examination. If the infection is confirmed, both of you should be treated together. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity to prevent cross-infection. Additionally, focus on increasing exercise, maintaining sufficient deep sleep and rest, and improving your overall physical condition to prevent recurrence.
