Upon confirmation of diagnosis, etiological factors causing the infection should be investigated, and patients should be counseled so as to avoid future recurrence.
Use soaps which are of neutral or alkaline pH when washing the outer genitals, as lower pH favours candidiasis.
Practice good personal hygiene; wear preferably cotton underclothes; avoid vaginal douches.
If mycosis occurs on the vulvar or perianal areas, apply an antifungal cream on these areas.
Consider the treatment of sexual partner wherever applicable for each specific case.
Do not interrupt treatment during menstruation.
Concomitant treatment for any bacterial infection associated with candidiasis is advisable.
In case of local intolerance or allergic reaction, stop treatment.
