Patient's question:
The symptoms are abnormal vaginal discharge, external genital itching, and painful urination. Then, the day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was candidiasis of the vagina. He also mentioned that it needed to be treated promptly, as candidiasis of the vagina can lead to infertility.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if candidiasis is left untreated for a long time, it can easily lead to inflammation ascending, causing cervical inflammation and cervical erosion. If the pathogen enters the uterine cavity, it may cause tubo-ovarian inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other conditions, disrupting the vaginal flora balance and ultimately leading to infertility or affecting fetal development. Therefore, once symptoms of candidiasis appear, do not purchase medication from a pharmacy on your own. Instead, seek timely medical examination to identify the causative agent. If there are concurrent infections, they should be treated simultaneously to prevent the vaginal infection from lingering and causing further inflammation spread, which would have a greater impact on pregnancy.
