Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Yesterday I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have severe candidal vaginitis, accompanied by vulvar ulcers, redness, and swelling, and cervical congestion. He prescribed fluconazole for intravenous infusion and performed a vaginal lavage and microwave therapy. The doctor said I need to receive intravenous infusion for another 3 days. I would like to know if there are effective medications for treating this condition. How long does it usually take to recover from this illness?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, candidiasis infection is treated with one week before and one week after menstruation as one course of treatment. Vulvovaginal candidiasis tends to recur, making it relatively troublesome to treat. It requires reinforcement, with one week of medication at a time. In the next month, medication is given for another week regardless of whether symptoms are present. This is repeated three times, generally leading to a complete cure. Inflammation requires vaginal washing and medication, which is necessary and has no harmful effects on the vagina.
