    Fungal vaginitis generally takes 3-7 days to get better. The specific time is related to the severity of the condition, individual differences, treatment methods and other factors.

    Fungal vaginitis is a common gynecological inflammation caused by Candida infection. Typical symptoms include vulvar itching, tofu-like leucorrhea, and burning sensation. If patients with mild infections are treated with antifungal drugs in a timely manner, such as clotrimazole vaginal tablets, miconazole nitrate suppositories or nystatin effervescent vaginal tablets, their symptoms are usually significantly relieved within 3-5 days. For patients with recurrent or moderate to severe infections, the medication may need to be extended to 7-10 days, and some patients need to take oral fluconazole capsules to consolidate the efficacy. During treatment, the vulva needs to be kept clean and dry, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and the entire course of treatment must be completed to prevent recurrence. After the symptoms disappear, it is still necessary to review the leucorrhea routinely to confirm the clearance of pathogens. Premature discontinuation of medication may lead to recurrence of the condition.

    You should choose cotton breathable underwear and change it daily to avoid long-term use of panty liners. When cleaning the vulva, just use warm water. There is no need to use lotion to rinse the vagina. Reducing the intake of high-sugar foods and supplementing an appropriate amount of yogurt containing probiotics can help maintain the balance of vaginal flora. If the symptoms are not relieved after treatment or recur more than 4 times per year, you should seek medical treatment promptly to investigate potential causes such as diabetes and low immunity.
