Doctor's answer:
Hello:1. Vaginal medication: Using imidazole suppositories for vaginal medication is very effective for candidal vaginitis. Clotrimazole suppositories, one piece per night, are inserted into the vagina after cleaning, with a course of 10–14 days; or miconazole nitrate suppositories, one piece per night, are applied to the vagina after cleaning, with a course of 7 days.
2. External ointment: Using clotrimazole ointment or miconazole nitrate ointment for external application can treat vulvitis caused by fungal infection, reducing symptoms of itching and pain in the vulva. Apply externally several times a day for 2 weeks.
3. Oral medication: Since fungal infection can be transmitted between partners through sexual activity, oral medication can be used to treat both individuals.
