Patient's question:
I have a fungal vaginal infection according to my gynecological examination, but it doesn't cause pain usually, and my discharge is also minimal. I clean my external genitalia every day, but after sexual intercourse with my husband, I feel discomfort in my abdomen. Is there any solution?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is relatively common for candidal vulvovaginitis to cause dyspareunia. Common medications for candidal vulvovaginitis include nystatin suppositories, one suppository per night. Additionally, you can take Nizoral tablets orally for one week. After completing the course of treatment, it is necessary to return to the hospital for follow-up examination. Be patient with the medication. While maintaining good hygiene for the external genitalia, your partner should clean the penis before sexual activity. Treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis can be approached with either purely Western medicine or a combination of Western and traditional Chinese medicine.
