Patient's question:
Since last month, there has been significant redness, swelling, and itching in the vagina, along with a noticeable cottage cheese-like discharge. I went for a check-up, and the vaginal discharge test revealed candidiasis (yeast infection), as well as a positive result for mycoplasma. Since I am not breastfeeding, I haven't taken any medication yet. The treatment with Guangpu (a brand name for a medication) wasn't very effective. I want to know if a positive mycoplasma test is very serious and whether it can be completely cured.Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis and mycoplasma infection can both recur repeatedly. After you are cured, you should go to the hospital for a check-up 3-7 days after each menstrual period for three consecutive months to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is best to avoid sexual activity to prevent cross-infection. Additionally, it is recommended not to conceive during medication. Patients face the harm of cervical inflammation, and we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If cervical inflammation does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch treatment plans.
