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 a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Could you please tell me: How should candidiasis (yeast infection) be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, general candidal vulvovaginitis usually has discomfort symptoms such as vulvar itching, curd-like vaginal discharge, and odor. If candidal vulvovaginitis is not treated properly, there is a possibility of recurring repeatedly. It is recommended that if you have a history of sexual activity, you can use a 3% sodium bicarbonate solution to rinse the vulva and vagina or use Honghe Fugjie liquid to rinse the vulva, and then apply Nystatin tablets inside the vagina for treatment. Oral fluconazole should be taken, and it is best for both partners to be treated together. After 1-2 weeks of treatment, go to the hospital for a follow-up examination.When patients face gynecological and obstetric troubles, we should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If gynecological and obstetric conditions do not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
