Beauties, pay attention! Be careful of outbreaks of candidal vaginitis in summer!

1. Don’t stop taking medication based on your feelings.

You should have a follow-up check-up in time after taking the medication, rather than stopping the medication on your own initiative. Sometimes, the improvement or disappearance of patients' symptoms does not mean that candidal vaginitis has been cured. It just means that Candida is temporarily suppressed, while some Candida hiding deep inside has not been eliminated. Stopping the medication at this time can easily cause Candida to become resistant to the drugs and cause repeated attacks. Patients should follow their doctor's orders and take medication to complete the course of treatment. During the medication period, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and a leucorrhea microscopic examination. The condition is considered cured only if there are no abnormalities in the gynecological examination and leucorrhea microscopic examination for three consecutive months.

2. Do not flush the vagina frequently.

Candida albicans grows best in an oxygen-deficient, warm and humid environment. Under normal circumstances, it and other flora in the vagina restrict each other and maintain a dynamic balance. In addition, the female reproductive organs have their own self-cleaning function, so candidal vaginitis is less likely to occur. However, if women use gynecological cleansing lotions, disinfectants, disinfected sanitary pads, etc. to excessively clean or disinfect their genitals, it will destroy the mutual restraint between the weakly acidic environment of the vagina and the bacterial flora, and cause vaginitis caused by Candida or other bacteria.

3. Do not use a hair dryer to dry your underwear.

Candida is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and also to heat. Many women are confused about how to disinfect their underwear on rainy days. In fact, Candida is very sensitive to heat and can be killed by boiling underwear in water for 10 minutes. Some women believe that heat can kill Candida, so they use a hair dryer to dry their underwear after washing it on rainy days. This is what Ms. Li did. In fact, this is a wrong approach. The hot air from the hair dryer does not reach the temperature that can kill Candida albicans. Instead, it blows the bacteria trapped at the hair dryer outlet onto your underwear. Doing this not only fails to kill Candida albicans, but also easily contaminates underwear.

4. Don’t hoard hygiene products.

Some women like to stock up. They buy a lot of sanitary products online or in stores and cannot use them up even if they are used for several months. If the storage environment is not good, they are prone to mold. Therefore, try not to stockpile goods. Hygiene products at home should be placed in sealed storage boxes and taken out regularly to dry in the sun.
