How to prevent recurrence of candida infection

Candida infection is like foot ulcer, it is difficult to completely cure and it is very easy to relapse. For recurrent candidal vaginitis, the first thing to do is to eliminate the cause of the recurrent candidal infection in the vagina, and at the same time extend the treatment period and use multiple methods at the same time, and persist in the treatment for 1-2 months.

1: Bad habits have not been corrected. Wiping from the anus to the vagina after defecation may bring Candida in the intestines to the vagina, causing repeated Candida infections.

2: If you have diabetes or are pregnant, the vaginal environment is conducive to the growth of Candida albicans. To actively treat diabetes, pregnant women should consult a doctor for appropriate treatment methods.

3: Not taking the medicine seriously and failing to treat the disease thoroughly. This 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 follow-up examination and undergo vaginal secretion tests for three consecutive times. If signs of candidal infection are found during this period, treatment must be continued.

4: Failure to wash and disinfect underwear and towels during treatment can lead to repeated Candida infections. Candida is not resistant to heat and can die when heated to 60 degrees. Therefore, it is best to scald clean underwear with boiling water and dry it in the sun. It is best not to wash underwear with other clothes.

5: The couple failed to receive treatment at the same time. Candida infection is classified as a sexually transmitted disease. If only the woman is treated and the man is not, the candida can be repeatedly transmitted between the two through sexual intercourse, making the woman's candidal vaginitis difficult to cure. Therefore, both parties need to be treated at the same time.

1: For fungal vaginitis, you can use baking soda water to clean the vulva, nystatin vaginal suppositories, and take ketoconazole and clotrimazole orally. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited, and underwear should be changed and washed and boiled daily for disinfection. After one course of treatment, the fungal examination is negative, and the fungal examination after each menstrual cycle is negative. Three courses of continuous consolidation treatment are considered to be cured.

2: It is best if the man should also receive treatment at the same time, taking nystatin tablets orally for one week.

3: Clean the vagina with sodium bicarbonate solution every night, avoid spicy food, change underwear frequently, and boil underwear to disinfect.

It is very likely to cause recurrence. Repeated recurrence will lead to drug resistance, which will cause trouble for gynecologists to use drugs. Therefore, during the treatment period, you must pay attention to personal hygiene to ensure recovery.
