Patient's question:
A woman is 37 years old. Half a month ago, she went to the hospital for itching in her vagina and was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis. She was prescribed fluconazole. After cleaning her vagina for a week, the itching went away. Exactly one week later, her menstrual period arrived, and in these past few days, the itching has started again. How should she deal with vulvar itching and candidal vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis can sometimes be prone to recurring. It is recommended that you follow the medication schedule prescribed by your doctor. Take 150 mg of fluconazole once, and then take another dose after 72 hours. During the medication period, avoid drinking beer. Do not eat spicy foods and maintain regular bowel movements. In addition to treating gynecological issues, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
