Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by a fungal infection. The basic principle of treatment is to alter the pH of the vagina, such as by rinsing the vagina with alkaline drugs. A 2% to 4% soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina to change the living environment of the fungus. Medications such as a topical application of nystatin cold cream twice daily are effective. Alternatively, oral itraconazole, griseofulvin, or oral ketoconazole are also effective. At the same time, sexual partners should also receive treatment.
