Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can the treatment for candidal vulvitis be most effective?Doctor's answer:
You can use baking soda water to clean the external genitalia, and use nystatin vaginal suppositories for treatment. Oral itraconazole and ketoconazole can also be used. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited. Underwear should be changed and washed daily, and then boiled to sterilize. After one course of treatment, a detailed fungal examination should show negative results. Subsequent fungal tests should also be negative after each menstrual cycle. Continuous and stable treatment for three courses is considered the best outcome. The male partner should also be treated concurrently. Shoes and socks should be washed separately from underwear. Otherwise, it is easy to relapse. The reasons for relapse are usually incomplete treatment and reinfection from the sexual partner. In addition to promptly treating candidal vulvitis, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also choose a regular hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment effects.
