Working With Your HCP
Face RVVC together
Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) symptoms have a lot in common with those of other vaginal conditions, so the first step to finding relief should be visiting your healthcare provider (HCP) to get a proper diagnosis. Your provider is your partner in care but may be unable to provide the best care without understanding how RVVC truly impacts you. Most women feel uncomfortable discussing it and try to self-treat. Having an open and honest conversation with your HCP will lay the foundation for an effective treatment plan.
Once you’re working together, your HCP will also have the opportunity to dispel myths around ineffective treatment trends, such as steaming, bath bombs, drastic dieting, pH soaps, wipes, douching, and more. These home remedies may worsen the condition.
Today’s HCPs can be flexible and adapt to each patient’s unique needs. Remember, your HCP is an excellent resource for dealing with RVVC day to day.
It's time to Control the Chat
It may feel embarrassing to talk about your private matters, but to break the cycle you need to first break the stigma. The only shame would be if you kept your thoughts to yourself. Your HCP is standing by to help. Talk about how you’re feeling and what you do to manage your RVVC. Open up, be honest, and don’t spare any details.
