Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy on my glans for a while. After checking at the hospital, they said it was candidal balanitis. I took medication and it got better, but it keeps coming back. I'd like to ask how to deal with recurrent candidal balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis tends to recur easily. When being treated, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital. After one month of treatment, a follow-up check-up should be conducted. If the results are negative for three consecutive times, it indicates that the condition has been cured. Even after being cured, it is still necessary to adjust one's daily routine and dietary habits. Underwear should be changed frequently, and hygiene should be paid attention to. Fresh vegetables and fruits should be consumed more, while spicy foods should be avoided. Fried foods should also be avoided. The frequent recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis is closely related to our daily life routines, sleep schedules, and dietary habits.
