Patient's question:
At the beginning of December, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with candidiasis. Because I am a virgin, I cannot insert medication, so I have been using baking soda to wash my external genital area. I continued this without interruption until mid-February, except during my period. Today, I went back to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The test results showed poor cleanliness, with 3+ positive white blood cells and positive + for Candida. Later, the doctor prescribed clotrimazole cream and itraconazole capsules. Can I still continue using baking soda to wash my external genital area? Is this capsule harmful to the human body?Doctor's answer:
It is best to treat through a comprehensive evaluation of the treatment method. The treatment is based on local vaginal washing and medication, such as using baking soda solution, or miconazole cream vaginal suppositories. At the same time, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, avoiding tub baths to reduce the risk of infection and being infected. It is recommended that you regularly use Jieryin to wash the vagina to maintain vaginal cleanliness and prevent transmission.Additionally, for patients with vaginitis during the treatment period, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answers can help you. Thank you.
