Patient's question:
What should I do if I have a yeast infection? I've always had this problem, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and sensitive to the cold.Doctor's answer:

It is infectious. Medications such as nystatin suppositories and clotrimazole suppositories are recommended. Since it is infectious, both partners should be treated simultaneously. Daily hygiene should be maintained, underwear should be sterilized at high temperatures, and it should be washed and changed frequently. The diet should be light, with a reduction in spicy, cold, and other irritating foods.
