Patient's question:
How to deal with chronic vaginitis? After being examined in the hospital, the doctor prescribed medication, which worked after one course of treatment. Now it has recurred again. Please advise on which method should be used to treat candidal vaginitis.Doctor's answer:
The characteristics of candidal vulvovaginitis are recurrent episodes, particularly more pronounced before and after menstruation. To treat recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis, the first step is to identify and eliminate the underlying causes that lead to repeated vaginal yeast infections. Additionally, the treatment duration should be extended, and multiple different treatment methods should be used simultaneously. Local treatment can involve initial fumigation and sitz baths with traditional Chinese herbal medicines, followed by medication insertion into the vagina, such as Daktarin or clotrimazole vaginal tablets, and topical application of clotrimazole cream.
