Patient's question:
How to treat candidiasis effectivelyDoctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment principles for candidal vulvovaginitis: Once diagnosed, active treatment should be initiated, aiming for complete eradication. Otherwise, it may persist and recur, causing numerous troubles for the patient. Personal hygiene should be maintained, with frequent changes of underwear. Used underwear, basins, towels, etc., should be boiled and dried in the sun. Antibiotics and hormone drugs should be used reasonably. Patients with diabetes should actively treat the underlying disease. The external genitalia should be washed, or a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution can be used for sitz baths. A 2% gentian violet solution should be applied locally. In recent years, nystatin has shown significant efficacy. For detailed treatment methods, symptomatic treatment should be conducted at the gynecology department of a hospital.
