Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, my wife has trichomoniasis vaginitis, it's extremely itchy down there, especially itchy every morning. She has already gone to the hospital and was prescribed oral metronidazole tablets. At first, it was effective, but later it started itching again. How to treat candidal vaginitis that doesn't hurt or itch?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is generally treated for 7-10 days to recover. If the leukorrhea is normal, there is no cottage cheese-like discharge, and there is no itching, it is a sign of improvement. It is recommended that you pay attention to personal hygiene. Underwear and socks should not be washed together, as it is easy to get a fungal infection. Underwear should be dried in the sun; underwear that is air-dried is prone to growing mold. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible according to their own condition to get symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ventilate frequently, and drink more hot water.
