How to treat candidal vulvovaginitis

Patient's question:

Friend recently found that the discharge is quite dirty and abundant, but there is no itching or pain. After examination, it was discovered that the friend has contracted a disease. The friend wants to consult about how to treat candidal vulvovaginitis.

Doctor's answer:

Within the first 12 weeks of early pregnancy, you can use baking soda and Jie'eryin to clean the external genitalia and vagina. At the same time, change underwear daily and wash and sterilize them along with towels and basins.
After 12 weeks of early pregnancy, follow the above method to clean, gently dry the external genitalia, and place a nystatin suppository deep in the vagina before going to bed each night. If there is vulvitis, you can apply miconazole cream to the external genitalia.
Generally, a course of treatment lasts 10-14 days. After stopping medication for 7 days, a follow-up test is required. Once symptoms disappear for 2 weeks, a third test for fungus is conducted. Treatment can only be considered complete after full recovery.
After 35 weeks of early pregnancy, to prevent intrauterine transmission, vaginal procedures should be avoided. In addition to promptly treating candidal vaginitis, patients should also pay close attention to care.
