Patient's question:
Vaginal itchingDoctor's answer:
Hello, candidiasis is a vaginal infection caused by Candida, with Candida albicans being the most common pathogen. During the illness, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia and avoid scratching. Sexual activity should be avoided during treatment; spicy and irritating foods should not be consumed. Alkaline solutions can be used to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to inhibit the growth and reproduction of Candida.
