In recent days, the private area has been particularly itchy, and there is also a significant amount of discharge. Now, every time I urinate, it causes pain. I don't know what might be causing this, and I'm now looking to ask here. What are the daily precautions for candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candida vaginitis, it is recommended to use alkaline solutions such as 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to clean the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to favor the growth of yeast. After cleaning, insert Nystatin tablets into the vagina once a day for a 14-day course. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream to the external genitalia is advisable. Both partners should be treated simultaneously. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and fresh, clean, and sterilized underwear should be changed daily.In addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important during gynecological treatment. It is essential to maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the comprehensive recovery of gynecological health.
