Patient's question:
I felt itchy two months ago, and later during sexual intercourse, there was bleeding. About the treatment and its effects: I was prescribed some medication, but there wasn't much change—it just stopped bleeding. My period has been 10 days late and hasn't arrived yet. I want to ask if the medications I used—{Loratadine capsules, Nitrofurantoin, Compound Shanzhizi Oil Suppositories}—could have affected my menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is characterized by severe itching of the external genitalia and a cottage cheese-like discharge. Sexual intercourse may relieve symptoms and facilitate treatment. Candidal vulvovaginitis generally does not interfere with normal menstruation. If pregnancy is suspected, it is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination.The daily treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis primarily focuses on symptomatic relief. Patients can take various oral medications and supplement with vitamins. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to diet, consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that patients with candidal vulvovaginitis can recover quickly! Thank you!
