Patient's question:
How is candidiasis treated? I have had candidiasis for three months now. During this time, my lower body has been extremely itchy, and besides the odor, my vaginal discharge has also been very abnormal. This has severely affected my daily life.Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check the routine test of leukorrhea and it is confirmed to be candidal vaginitis, it is necessary to actively treat it with medication. For example, after cleaning the vagina with baking soda or Wufanjie, medication such as Nystatin suppositories or Clotrimazole suppositories can be inserted into the vagina. Generally, treatment is needed for one to two weeks, followed by a re-examination after treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided, and if necessary, both partners should be treated. Avoid spicy, greasy, and cold foods during the day, and always maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia.
