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 issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please:Doctor's answer:
The treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis includes:1. Using a 2% to 4% baking soda solution to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with a 2-week course. After rinsing, dry the external genitalia and maintain them dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.
2. After rinsing, insert nystatin tablets deep into the vagina once nightly, with a dosage of 50,000 to 100,000 units per time, for a 7- to 10-day course. Alternatively, you may also apply miconazole cream to the external genitalia.
3. Oral medication: Since fungal infections can be transmitted between partners through sexual activity, oral medication can be administered to both individuals for treatment. Oral medications can also inhibit intestinal Candida. Fluconazole oral: Take 150 mg once daily.
