Doctor's answer:
Hello, I suggest that in addition to actively treating candidal vulvovaginitis, you should also adopt a couples' treatment approach and avoid sexual activity. Change your cotton underwear and pants frequently every day to maintain external genital hygiene. Do not use antibiotics indiscriminately for treatment to avoid disrupting the vaginal flora and worsening the infection. Finally, treatment should be symptomatic and based on physical symptoms! The occurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
