Patient's question:
These days, while washing my underwear, I always find a lot of cheesy-looking discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel like my private area is always damp and itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Could you please recommend a good clinic for treating candidiasis vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis vulvovaginitis, also known as moniliasis vulvovaginitis, is primarily caused by the infection of the bloodstream pathogen Candida albicans. It commonly occurs in women who use hormones or antibiotics for a long time, as well as in diabetics and pregnant women. The main routes of infection are sexual intercourse, public baths, towels, and other items. The main symptoms include cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external genital itching. It is recommended to use alkaline solutions such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to wash the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to favor the growth of Candida. After washing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina. For stubborn cases, oral itraconazole or clotrimazole can be taken to eliminate intestinal Candida, or topical miconazole can be applied.
