Doctor's answer:

Hello: As long as you receive active treatment, your condition will be fine! Candidal vulvovaginitis is a vaginal infection caused by the fungus Candida albicans. It has a high incidence rate and is prone to recurrence, making it a common gynecological disease. Candida thrives in acidic environments and commonly colonizes the human vagina, mouth, and intestines, leading to mutual infection. The risk factors for candidal vulvovaginitis include:
1. Transmission through sexual intercourse.
2. Recent use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, leading to vaginal flora imbalance and favoring Candida growth.
3. Use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or patients with autoimmune diseases are prone to concurrent Candida infection.
4. During pregnancy, the carrier rate or infection rate of Candida in the vagina significantly increases.
5. Coexisting diabetes.
6. Oral contraceptive use.
7. Wearing tight nylon pants, etc.
The clinical manifestations of candidal vulvovaginitis primarily include vulvar itching and changes in the amount and characteristics of vaginal discharge. Diagnosis relies on medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests, and should be differentiated from trichomoniasis, nonspecific vaginitis, and infections caused by Mycoplasma and Chlamydia.
Common treatments include cleaning the vulva and vagina with Jieshu liquid and 2% sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by local application of antifungal medications such as Daxin and Daking. In recent years, incomplete treatment or deep tissue infections in the vagina have led to recurrence. For recurrent vulvovaginitis, oral medications are highly effective for prevention. Commonly used antifungal drugs include fluconazole and Sporanox, taken orally every 2–4 weeks for 3–6 months to fully control symptoms. Monthly premenstrual follow-ups are recommended, with three consecutive negative results indicating cure. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and both partners should be treated simultaneously.
