Patient's question:
I got tested and the doctor said it was a fungal vaginal infection, which has just been treated. So, I won't treat it anymore. Will it be okay if it comes out in a short time?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is caused by a fungal infection. Fungi can survive in the mouth, intestines, and other areas, and when the vaginal environment is suitable, they can cause fungal vaginitis, which is characterized by vaginal itching and a curd-like discharge. You should have a routine vaginal discharge test at the hospital. If it is confirmed to be fungal vaginitis, you can take vaginal medication, such as clotrimazole suppositories or terconazole suppositories. The medication is usually taken for 7 days as a course. After completing the course of medication, you should return to the hospital for a follow-up check. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and underwear should be changed daily. After washing, underwear should be exposed to sunlight.
