Patient's question:
3.4 years, at first the medicine worked well, but later the recurrence became more frequentDoctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, for candidal vulvovaginitis, medication is needed until the symptoms disappear, which is about one to two weeks. After the symptoms disappear, a follow-up of vaginal discharge routine tests should be conducted for three months after the next menstrual period. It must be negative to confirm the treatment is effective. During the treatment period, it is best to avoid sexual intercourse. It is recommended that both partners be treated to avoid repeated infections. The underwear should be boiled and then dried in the sun. If it recurs frequently, a vaginal discharge culture and drug sensitivity test should be performed to treat the pathogen specifically.
