Dietary tips for candidal vaginitis

Vaginal candidiasis is a common gynecological inflammation that is prone to recurrence. Vaginal candidiasis requires not only active treatment measures, but also dietary avoidance. What are the dietary points for vaginal candidiasis?

Patients with candidal vaginitis should arrange their diet properly, because the disease has strict dietary taboos. According to clinical experience, the dietary taboos for candidal vaginitis mainly include:

1. Avoid tobacco and alcohol: Everyone should know that smoking is harmful to health. Smoking will aggravate the condition of patients with candidal vaginitis. This is because nicotine in tobacco can weaken the combination of arterial blood and oxygen, and wine can promote damp heat, so it should be a taboo. Similarly, alcoholic foods such as alcohol and medicinal wine should not be consumed. Avoid seafood products. Products with fishy smell, such as shrimp, mandarin fish, black fish, hairtail, yellow croaker, crab and other aquatic products can promote damp heat, and after consumption, it can aggravate vulvar itching, which is not conducive to the disappearance of inflammation and should be avoided.

2. Avoid sweet and greasy foods: greasy foods such as lard, fatty pork, butter, mutton fat, and cream; high-sugar foods such as candy, desserts, chocolate, and cream cakes contribute to damp heat, increase leucorrhea secretion, and affect the treatment effect.

3. Avoid spicy food: Spicy food includes pepper, ginger, onion, garlic, etc. Eating more of it can easily cause dry heat, which can lead to internal heat poison, swollen and painful gums, tongue sores, short and red urine, burning sensation in the anus, itchy and painful vagina, etc., which can aggravate the symptoms of the disease. Pay attention to diet and nutrition. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, keep bowel movements smooth; drink more water; prevent urinary tract infection. Eating more light and dehumidifying foods, such as winter melon, watermelon, red beans, etc., is beneficial to the recovery of the disease.
