Patient's question:
Two months ago, I was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis. I have been taking medication for two months, and now it has been cured. There are no symptoms at all. Hello, should I continue taking medication next month?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is best to focus on medication treatment! The commonly used treatment includes Jieshu Liquid, 2% sodium bicarbonate for washing the external genitalia and vagina, and local use of antifungal medications such as Daxin and miconazole nitrate suppositories. In recent years, due to incomplete treatment or infection of deep vaginal tissues, recurrence of the condition is prone to occur. For recurrent vaginitis, oral medication is effective for prevention. Commonly used antifungal oral medications include fluconazole and itraconazole capsules, taken every 2-4 weeks for 3-6 months, which can completely control symptoms. Monthly premenstrual reexaminations are recommended, and three consecutive negative results indicate recovery. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited, and both partners should be treated together.
