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 fungi. After cleaning, insert Nystatin tablets into the vagina once a day, with a 14-day course of treatment. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream to the external genitalia is beneficial. Both partners should be treated simultaneously. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and fresh, clean, and sterilized underwear should be worn daily.In addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are equally important during gynecological treatment.
