Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling itchy outside my vulva, and it hurts when I urinate. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was something called bacterial urethritis of the vulva. Can candidiasis be cured if it's resistant?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial urethritis is caused by fungal infections and currently has a high incidence rate. It is more common in young girls, pregnant women, diabetic patients, and postmenopausal women who have previously received high-dose estrogen treatment. Symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia and vagina, painful urination, redness and swelling around the external genitalia, and various epidermal changes, which can include very shallow blisters and papules. It is recommended to visit a reputable local gynecology and obstetrics specialty hospital for examination and treatment. If diagnosed, it is advisable to use soda water combined with Daktarin suppositories. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid sexual activity during medication to prevent cross-infection.
