Patient: Female, 35 years old. Recently diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis during a check-up. How effective is the treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is relatively easy to develop, and it must be healed by adhering to the principles of joint treatment for couples and standardized medication. Below are some simple methods for treating female candidiasis:1. Use alkaline drugs such as 2-5% sodium bicarbonate solution and antifungal suppositories like metronidazole suppositories, clotrimazole suppositories, terconazole suppositories, and miconazole suppositories, etc.
2. After menstruation, use the solution to rinse the vagina each time. Insert suppositories for 7-10 days, then switch to rinsing. Repeat the medication cycle after three months.
3. During treatment, intercourse is strictly prohibited. The male partner can rinse the area and take fluconazole orally for one week. Afterward, pay attention to rinsing before and after sexual activity to prevent excessive use of antibiotics and the recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis.
