What should be done for candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: The patient has undergone thorough examinations at the hospital and has been prescribed medication.
Previous Treatment and Effect: The patient has just received treatment in what way.
What help is needed after recovery: How should underwear be handled after getting better?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, candidiasis (yeast infection) is caused by a fungal infection. Excessive consumption of antibiotics can also lead to vaginitis. Therefore, it is generally advisable not to take large amounts of antibiotics. Currently, treatment primarily relies on liquid washes and internal suppositories. Personally, I recommend rinsing the vagina with baking soda water, followed by inserting a suppository or clotrimazole suppository, which has shown good results. In daily life, it is essential to change underwear frequently, and used underwear, basins, and towels should be washed with boiling water. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited.
