Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, I felt dryness at the opening of my vagina, with some pain and itching, and noticed redness there. I had previously experienced a yeast infection of the vagina, and after seeing a doctor, medication was prescribed. Last month, I underwent a thorough gynecological examination, and everything was normal. However, my discharge has been excessive and white and sticky. I think this is abnormal, but the doctor didn't provide an answer. What should I do now? What is the current situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to your condition, pay attention to hygiene, observe carefully for a few days, and then follow up for retesting!Candida vulvovaginitis can be treated with antifungal suppositories or tablets, such as nystatin vaginal effervescent tablets, vaginal effervescent tablets, clotrimazole suppositories, miconazole suppositories, nystatin tablets, etc., which are placed vaginally. It can also be used in combination with systemic medication and alternated for 7–10 days.
In addition to candidiasis, trichomoniasis is also an important cause of vulvar itching. Metronidazole can be taken orally or placed vaginally, and should be used continuously for 7 days.
