Patient's question:
Hello, I have recently experienced some health issues, so I would like to consult about this disease. For candidal vulvovaginitis, what anti-inflammatory drugs are good to take?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Candidal Vulvovaginitis.1. Alter the vaginal pH: If vaginal pH needs to be adjusted, such as when using alkaline solutions for vaginal irrigation, a 2–4% soda solution can be used to change the environment in which the fungus thrives.
2. Administer antifungal agents:
(1) Nystatin vaginal suppositories (containing 250,000 U of nystatin) inserted into the deep vagina twice daily (or once nightly) for 2 weeks.
(2) Oral nystatin 500,000 U four times daily.
(3) Topical application of nystatin cold cream twice daily.
(4) Oral itraconazole 400 mg twice daily for 5 days.
(5) Both partners should be treated. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided. Patients with vaginal candidiasis can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while undergoing symptomatic therapy. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily life to avoid irritating foods.
