How to treat candidal vulvovaginitis to prevent recurrence

Patient's question:

Since last year, every second month has required medication. Without it, the vulva becomes swollen and red, intercourse is painful, and the discharge is like sludge.

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal candidiasis, the reasons for its recurrent occurrence include: unclear diagnosis, irrational medication use, not completing the prescribed course of treatment, and not regularly reviewing during treatment to assess its effectiveness; the source of infection has not been eliminated, and sexual partners have not been treated simultaneously.
To treat vaginal candidiasis, you can first rinse the vagina with a 2%–4% baking soda solution, keep the external genital area dry, and insert a candidiasis tablet or suppository into the vagina after washing. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided during treatment, and spicy or irritating foods should not be consumed.
