How is candidiasis treated?

Patient's question:

Vaginal itching
Abnormal discharge
Odor
Lower abdominal fullness and pressure

Doctor's answer:

Fungal infection is related to low immunity and sexually transmitted diseases. It is recommended that both men and women should be examined and treated. Vaginas can be cleaned with potassium permanganate solution or sodium bicarbonate solution, and treated with Daktarin suppositories or nystatin suppositories. Antifungal drugs such as fluconazole may be taken if necessary. Underwear should be boiled or exposed to sunlight for disinfection. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
