Doctor's answer:

Hello, candidiasis is a common type of vaginitis, mostly caused by Candida albicans. The main symptoms are itching or burning in the external genitalia. During the acute phase, leukorrhea increases, appearing as curd-like or cottage cheese-like discharge. Pay attention to external genital hygiene to avoid cross-infection. Use antibiotics and hormones reasonably.
Treatment:
1. Use alkaline solutions such as 2–4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to make it unfavorable for fungal growth. After rinsing, apply medication to the vagina and use some treatments. After being examined at the hospital, follow the doctor's advice.
It is recommended to use Kuiflu Kangfu Xiaofang (Cottonrose Anti-inflammatory Suppositories). Generally, 3–4 courses are recommended, with 2–3 courses for milder cases. Each course lasts 14 days.
