Patient's question:
Female, 35 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the outer labia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please ask: How can I trust the treatment for candidiasis (yeast infection)?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is recommended that you use vaginal medication to alleviate symptoms. If necessary, you can also complement it with oral medication. During treatment, enhance nursing care, pay attention to personal hygiene, gently wash the external genitalia with warm water, change underwear frequently, and avoid sexual activity. Maintain a regular lifestyle, exercise appropriately to strengthen your body, keep a positive mood, and prevent negative emotions. Go to the hospital for follow-up checks at irregular intervals, and you can stop taking medication only after recovery.
