Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed some discomfort in my vagina, with a slight itching and a stinging sensation. My vaginal discharge was the same as usual, with no significant differences.History of treatment and effectiveness:
I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis, with a cleanliness level of III. The doctor prescribed medication for me. In addition to the topical medication, after taking the oral medication, I felt some improvement. I also pay close attention to personal hygiene, changing my underwear every day. However, I have had more sexual activity recently. Could this be the reason for the recurrence?
Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, the general treatment for fungal infection is as follows: Locally, you can use a baking soda solution to clean the affected area or apply imidazole creams such as creams, clotrimazole cream, etc. It should be combined with oral antifungal medication. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Additionally, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulvar area; avoid using soap to wash the vulva; try to suppress scratching and rubbing the affected area; avoid spicy foods; and pay attention to preventing emotional fluctuations.
