Can candidiasis cause infertility?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Candidal vaginitis can lead to infertility. There is generally no irregular menstruation.
Use alkaline solutions such as 2–4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to make it unfavorable for fungal growth. After rinsing, insert Nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, with a dose of 100,000–200,000 units each time, once nightly, for a course of 10–14 days. Additionally, apply 3% miconazole cream to the external genitalia for better results.
