Patient's question:
A month ago, when I had sex with my husband, I felt a particularly intense burning pain in my vagina, and my vaginal discharge was also abnormal. The doctor said it was a fungal vaginal infection, but the medication hasn't helped so far. I'd like to understand what to do if the fungal vaginal infection doesn't improve after a month of treatment?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, fungal vaginal inflammation is easy to occur and difficult to heal completely on its own, so if it has already been confirmed and diagnosed, active examination and treatment should be implemented. First, thorough cleaning of the external genitalia and vaginal secretions is necessary to reduce the effectiveness of treatment. During the treatment period, it is still recommended to temporarily strictly prohibit sexual activity. Many antifungal drugs can be taken orally to cooperate with the treatment, and if necessary, couples should undergo joint treatment.
