Do you have a doctor? Thank you. What is the meaning of a positive Candida culture?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a positive Candida test indicates an inflammatory infection. First, candidal vulvovaginitis, also known as fungal vulvovaginitis, primarily manifests as increased vaginal discharge with a foul odor resembling cottage cheese, accompanied by itching of the external genitalia or vagina. This infection is mainly caused by poor hygiene or unsafe sexual practices. During treatment, sexual activity is generally prohibited. After one month of treatment, it is necessary to undergo relevant follow-up examinations at a formal hospital. Only when the test results are negative for three consecutive times can it be considered cured.
