Patient's question:
Female, I have been menopausal for the past two years, but recently I have been experiencing severe itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: How is it best to treat vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of candidiasis, there needs to be consideration of antifungal medications for symptomatic treatment. The treatment needs to be thorough, as otherwise, it is prone to recurring and becoming chronic. Commonly used medications include Nifuratel and Nystatin Soft Capsules, Clotrimazole Vaginal Tablets, or Miconazole Nitrate Suppositories, all of which are antifungal drugs. The treatment should last for 7 to 10 days each month and should be continued for three months. Three consecutive negative tests are required to consider it cured. When patients face gynecological issues, we should actively conduct examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If gynecological conditions persist despite treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
