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 is candidiasis vaginitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by the infection of the bloodstream pathogen Candida albicans. It frequently occurs in women who use hormones or antibiotics for a long time, as well as in diabetic patients and pregnant women. The main routes of infection are sexual intercourse, swimming pools, towels, and other items. The main symptoms include cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external itching. Oral fluconazole 150mg, vaginal medication Kefine, or nystatin vaginal suppositories can be used for treatment. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, underwear should be changed frequently, and hygiene items should be sterilized by boiling water. Additionally, for gynecological patients during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must take digestive vitamins, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
