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 that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How can vaginitis be diagnosed and will it improve?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, candidiasis of the vagina, persistent use of conventional medication can lead to self-healing. Local treatment can involve washing the external and vaginal areas with a 2%-4% sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by alternating the use of 200mg miconazole suppositories once daily for 7 days. If the treatment effect is poor, systemic treatment with 200-400mg ketoconazole once daily for 5 consecutive days can be considered.
