Patient's question:
My friend might have a fungal vaginal infection. The discharge is like cottage cheese, and she usually has severe itching in her external genital area. Hello expert, how should it be treated? Is there any convenient method, like washing or something?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment for vaginitis requires adherence to a three-month menstrual cycle, with both partners undergoing treatment, both internally and externally. You may refer to the following treatment methods:Specific treatment methods for candidal vaginitis:
During the menstrual period, both partners take one capsule of fluconazole orally (once only). After the menstrual period ends, the female uses one metronidazole vaginal suppository nightly (vaginal administration). Before applying the medication, she should soak in a 10% sodium bicarbonate solution. Continue this treatment for 7 days.
Before sexual intercourse, apply metronidazole vaginal cream to the penis. Both partners can receive treatment simultaneously during vaginal penetration.
Continue this treatment for three menstrual cycles.
Change underwear frequently. Wash used underwear, basins, and towels with boiling water if possible.
