What to do if you have recurrent candidal vaginitis

As the pace of the times is accelerating, many female friends have become office workers. Because they have to take care of both work and family, they often neglect their physical health. Some female friends will develop candidal vaginitis if they do not pay attention in their daily lives, and this disease will recur. So let me introduce to you how we can treat it.

First of all, not taking medication seriously and failing to treat it thoroughly after developing candidal vaginitis is an important reason for the recurrence of the disease. After treatment, patients with candidal vaginitis still need to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and vaginal secretion test after each menstruation, for three consecutive times. If signs of Candida infection are found once during this period, it cannot be considered cured, but rather a relapse or reinfection, and continued treatment is required.

Second, the couple did not receive treatment at the same time: after a woman suffers from candidal vaginitis, she can transmit the pathogen to her husband through sexual intercourse, making her husband a carrier as well. About 10% of men may develop balanoposthitis. If only the woman is treated and the man is not, then even if the woman is cured, she will be reinfected by her husband, causing Candida to be repeatedly "transmitted" between the couple, and the woman's candidal vaginitis will recur.

Third, failure to change and disinfect underwear and towels as required during treatment may also be the cause of Candida reinfection.

Fourth, the human body itself can be a carrier of Candida albicans. When the Candida albicans present in the intestine infects the vagina, it can cause candidal vaginitis. For example, if one has poor hygiene habits and always wipes the vulva from the anus toward the urethra after defecation, the Candida albicans in the intestine may be brought into the vagina, repeatedly causing candidal vaginitis. Therefore, when treating candidal vaginitis, oral medication should be taken at the same time to eliminate intestinal Candida. Moreover, patients need to change their bad hygiene habits.

If candidal vaginitis recurs, everyone should correct bad habits in daily life in time. Do not scratch if itching occurs. Once itching and odor appear, go to the hospital for examination in time. We urge everyone to prevent the recurrence of candidal vaginitis.
