Patient's question:
Please ask the expert~ I started taking a weight loss pill on the 25th after my period last month (main ingredients: water-soluble chlorophyll (Chlorophyll II), active aloe, natural fiber, deep-sea chitin, tea extract, broccoli extract, white kidney bean extract, vitamin C). I have been taking it for about half a month. However, around the 4th, I suddenly experienced external vaginal itching and excessive discharge, which was really uncomfortable. Today, when I went to the hospital, I found out it was candidiasis. I would like to know if taking this weight loss pill could have affected or caused the candidiasis? First question supplementDoctor's answer:

It does not have a significant effect on any specific disease or symptom. 2. It is safe for use, generally without important side effects. Therefore, your illness is not caused by them. Got it. You should consult a specialized doctor for a diagnosis. Symptomatic treatment is recommended. The prognosis for this condition is good, and the treatment is highly effective.
