Patient's question:
How to deal with recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a condition-causing pathogen. When the body and vaginal immunity declines, it can trigger recurrent episodes of candidiasis, often associated with frequent oral intake of anti-inflammatory drugs, pregnancy, weakened constitution, and poor physical condition. During an episode, it is important to seek medical attention from a gynecologist. After a definitive diagnosis of candidiasis, treatment should be followed according to medical advice. The treatment typically involves vaginal suppositories, with appropriate oral medication used in combination. After stopping medication, follow-up and consolidation therapy are necessary. For three consecutive months before each menstrual period, vaginal discharge should be tested, and three negative results are required to confirm complete recovery from candidiasis. During treatment, use condoms for intercourse to prevent transmission. Wash underwear and pants by boiling in hot water and exposing them to sunlight for thorough disinfection. Strengthening exercise to improve immunity is key!
