Vulvovaginitis
Vulvovaginitis ( 24 Questions)
Administering oral or intravaginal antibiotics is not appropriate for vulvovaginal candidiasis (CV) since it is caused by a fungal infection, not bacterial. Antifungal medications are the primary treatment.
Educating the client on the causes, symptoms, and prevention of CV is essential to ensure the client understands the infection, its symptoms, and how to prevent recurrence.
Providing comfort measures to relieve irritation and discomfort, such as soothing creams and warm sitz baths, helps alleviate the discomfort associated with CV.
Encouraging the client to avoid sexual intercourse during treatment is advised to prevent further irritation and disruption of the vaginal flora.
Advising the client to limit sexual partners is not a specific intervention for CV.
