Patient's question:
In September 2013, Tongji was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis and received standardized treatment with nitrofurantoin and mupirocin for 3 months, followed by vaginal lavage. During this period, sexual intercourse was avoided, and there was no recurrence. Later, it was confirmed that the condition was cured, but it recurred after resuming sexual intercourse. Continuous treatment for 3 courses was administered, and protected intercourse was practiced, but it recurred again.Doctor's answer:
The general reasons for recurrence after treatment include:1. The couple was not treated simultaneously during the treatment, and sexual intercourse after recovery can lead to re-infection.
2. Incomplete treatment.
3. Continued use of towels and underwear used during the illness after recovery.
4. Patients with diabetes, with high sugar content in urine, and other factors can all lead to the recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis.
