Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, my wife has trichomoniasis vaginitis. It's very itchy down there, especially in the morning every day. 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 cured within 7-10 days of treatment. If the leukorrhea is normal, there is no cottage cheese-like discharge, and there is no itching, these are signs of improvement. It is recommended that you pay attention to personal hygiene. Do not wash underwear and socks together, as it is easy to get a fungal infection. Underwear should be dried in the sun; damp underwear is prone to fostering mold. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible based on their own condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
