Patient's question:
Recently, there has been a significant increase in leukorrhea, which is cloudy and has an odor even after being washed with clean water. Could this be vaginitis? How is candidal vaginitis usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Candidiasis is caused by the infection of Candida albicans, a blood-borne pathogen. Don't worry, timely treatment will lead to self-healing. It is recommended to use baking soda water for external washing, vaginal nystatin suppositories for treatment, and oral itraconazole and ketoconazole. After one course of treatment, if the fungal test results are negative, and subsequent tests during each menstrual cycle also show negative results, continuous and stable treatment for three more courses will be considered self-healing. During the treatment process, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited to avoid mutual transmission. Wishing you good health.
