Patient's question:
Usually there's not much going on, but every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I feel uncomfortable down there. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: What are the symptoms of treating candidiasis vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
It is best to use medication under the guidance of a clinical diagnosis doctor. It is recommended to use alkaline solutions such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soap water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to favor the growth of yeast. After rinsing, insert Nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, with a dosage of 100,000-200,000 units each time, once daily, for a course of 10-14 days. Additionally, apply 3% miconazole cream to the external genitalia for better results. For persistent cases, oral itraconazole or clotrimazole can be taken to eliminate intestinal candidiasis, or topical miconazole can be used. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and new, clean, and sterilized underwear should be worn daily. A follow-up examination should be conducted after the menstrual period.
