Patient's question:
Hello expert, I have excessive leukorrhea, which is milky white. When I wash it in the basin, there are many fragments of skin-like things of different sizes. Since the beginning of the year, I have been treating candidal vaginitis, and I haven't stopped taking medication at any stage. Why is my leukorrhea still abnormal? Has it not been treated thoroughly? But recently, many leukorrhea tests have shown no candidiasis, everything is normal. Hello, what disease do I actually have? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidiasis is a vaginal infection caused by the fungus Candida albicans. It has a high incidence rate and is prone to recurrence, making it a common gynecological condition. Candida dislikes growing in acidic environments. It often spreads through the vagina, mouth, and intestines of humans, leading to mutual transmission. Diagnosis requires medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests, and should be differentiated from trichomoniasis, non-specific vaginitis, and infections with Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. Treatment commonly involves using Jieshu Liquid, washing the external genitalia and vagina with a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution, and applying local antifungal medications. In recent years, recurrence has been more likely due to incomplete treatment or infections in deep vaginal tissues. For recurrent vaginitis, oral medications have shown good preventive effects.
