Patient's question:
I am a woman, 52 years old this year. Due to some other diseases, and also because I am indeed quite old, I decided to have my uterus removed. Recently, I found out that I have candidiasis (yeast infection). How should I treat it after having my uterus removed?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis, also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis, is associated with certain personal habits of women and sudden changes in their endocrine system. It is commonly characterized by itching, burning sensation in the private area, and abnormal vaginal discharge. Treatment typically involves the use of topical medications, such as nystatin vaginal suppositories, and in severe cases, oral nystatin tablets may be prescribed. Additionally, it is important to change underwear frequently, maintain a light diet, and ensure a reasonable sleep schedule.
