Patient's question:
How long does it take for a fungal vaginal infection to develop after being infected?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis is a stubborn gynecological inflammation. After diagnosis, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice for thorough treatment in a timely manner. It is also important to avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. After treatment, it is required to undergo follow-up examinations at the hospital for vaginal discharge every 3 months after menstruation for 3 to 7 days. The condition is considered cured only if all test results are negative. Additionally, candidiasis can be transmitted through sexual contact, so it is recommended that the male partner also undergoes medical examination. If infection is detected, both partners should be treated simultaneously.
