Why does candidiasis not heal after long-term treatment?

Patient's question:

Hello, I am a pregnant woman, 32 weeks pregnant, and have had candidal vulvovaginitis for over a month. I have been using soda water for external washing and inserting active lactic acid bacteria capsules (Yanhua) internally, but the condition has not improved. Could prolonged non-healing lead to future cervical inflammation or other gynecological infections?

Doctor's answer:

Chronic, non-healing inflammation can develop, but it is also related to the changes in vaginal pH during pregnancy. Treatment can continue, with attention to hygiene, and it will improve after delivery.
