Patient's question:
Friend recently found that the discharge is quite dirty and abundant, but there is no itching or pain. Examination revealed the diagnosis, and they want to consult about which treatment is effective for candidal vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Candidal Vulvovaginitis1. Use alkaline solutions such as 2~4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to favor the growth of fungi. After rinsing, insert miconazole tablets or suppositories into the vagina, with a dosage of 100,000~200,000 units each time, once nightly, for a course of 10~14 days. Additionally, apply 3% miconazole cream to the external genitalia for better results.
2. Miconazole nitrate suppositories can be used externally. Males can use miconazole nitrate cream for treatment.
3. Fluconazole can also be used for treatment.
During treatment, avoid sexual intercourse and change to a new, clean, and sterilized pair of underwear daily. Retest after the menstrual period.
