Patient's question:
Age 24, a year ago, I discovered inflammation in my vagina and went to a regular hospital. The doctor just looked inside with a speculum and said I had candidiasis of the vagina. They gave me pessary and lotion, but I didn't feel any significant improvement after using them. Later, I bought vaginal infection treatment medication from a pharmacy, but it didn't work well. So far, my vagina has been inflamed. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the described situation, it may be related to fungal vaginal inflammation. A routine vaginal discharge test can be performed. After suffering from fungal vaginal inflammation, attention should be paid to the following:(1) Change underwear frequently, and underwear should be loose. Avoid wearing nylon or non-cotton underwear.
(2) The patient's underwear, used bathtubs, towels, etc., should be sterilized by boiling in hot water.
(3) Vaginal cleaning should be done once a week to prevent dysbacteriosis and bacterial infections.
