How many days does candidal vaginitis take to heal?

Candidal vaginitis is a relatively common form of vaginitis. For patients, it is necessary to receive timely and good treatment. Acute candidal vaginitis can generally be improved through good medication, and one course of treatment. For patients with chronic vaginitis, the treatment time is often longer. Of course, this is also related to the patient's physical constitution, treatment methods, and the effectiveness of usual preventive health care.

Precautions for the treatment of candidal vaginitis: 1. In terms of treatment, if you have had sexual intercourse during the illness, it is recommended that the couple be treated together. Men often carry the bacteria without developing the disease, which can easily lead to repeated infections in women; 2. Underwear must be washed separately, and bath towels and underwear must be dried in the sun. Do not dry them in the bathroom. Dark and humid places are most likely to breed mold; 3. What should be paid attention to in the treatment of candidal vaginitis? Do not use some lotions to clean the vulva for a long time, as this will cause dysbacteriosis and mold infection. Just wash it with warm water at ordinary times. If the itching of the vulva caused by mold is unbearable, do not use overheated water to wash it.

4. Try not to use sanitary pads, wear cotton underwear, and the outer pants should not be too tight to keep the vulva breathable and dry. During menstruation, sanitary napkins must be produced by regular manufacturers and within their validity period, and should be stored properly.

Can Candida vaginitis be completely cured?

Typical cases are not difficult to diagnose. A routine examination of leucorrhea can confirm the diagnosis by finding hyphae. In terms of treatment, both systemic and local medications are acceptable. At the same time, the inducement should be eliminated. If you have diabetes, you should actively treat it; stop using broad-spectrum antibiotics, estrogens and corticosteroids promptly; change underwear frequently, and wash used underwear, basins and towels with boiling water.

After treatment, the symptoms and signs disappear, and the infection recurs after the leucorrhea examination is normal. The occurrence of candidal vaginitis 4 times within a year is called recurrent candidal vaginitis. Some patients have predisposing factors, but the recurrence mechanism of most patients is unknown. It is best for such patients to undergo fungal culture to confirm the diagnosis and drug sensitivity testing to guide treatment.

In addition, this disease is prone to relapse before menstruation, so the leucorrhea should be checked before each menstruation during treatment. Antifungal treatment is divided into initial treatment and maintenance treatment. Topical medication is used for 7-14 days, and oral sensitive antifungal drugs are taken according to the culture results. After the leucorrhea is normal after reexamination, oral or topical medications are taken at intervals for a total of 6 months. During this period, in addition to monitoring the efficacy, attention should also be paid to drug side effects and timely treatment. Symptomatic sexual partners should be tested and treated for Candida albicans to prevent repeated infection in women; asymptomatic persons do not require treatment.
