Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been having vaginal bleeding these days, along with lower abdominal pain and excessive discharge. I was diagnosed with vaginitis and specifically candidal vaginitis. How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis can be treated locally by applying a baking soda solution to the affected area or using imidazole creams such as miconazole cream, clotrimazole cream, etc. Oral griseofulvin and itraconazole can also be taken. Maintain good hygiene, strictly avoid sexual activity during treatment, and pay attention to keeping the vulvar area clean. Avoid using soap to wash the vulva; try to control scratching and friction at the affected site; avoid spicy foods; and be mindful of preventing emotional fluctuations.In addition to standard treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis, patients should also pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should be careful to choose a professional hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
