Doctor's answer:

Active treatment can address other diseases that may cause candidal vulvovaginitis, eliminating predisposing factors. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and avoid scratching. Abstain from sexual activity during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
(2) Modify the vaginal pH: The optimal pH for Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, rinsing the external genitalia and vagina with alkaline solutions can alter the vaginal pH, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of Candida. A 2%–4% baking soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with two weeks constituting one course of treatment. After rinsing, dry the external genitalia to maintain dryness, which helps suppress the growth of Candida.
