Patient's question:
I've been feeling an increase in white discharge recently, and it has a foul odor. Additionally, I've been experiencing severe vaginal itching, and the white discharge inside my vagina is like cottage cheese. My friend told me I might have a fungal vaginal infection. Now, I'm thinking of buying some cleanser from the pharmacy to clean myself. What kind of cleanser should I use for a fungal vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
Poor-quality leukorrhea indicates that you have contracted a fungal vaginal infection. You can use Fuyanjie liquid dissolved in warm water to soak the external genital area for 20 minutes. Afterwards, you can use nystatin vaginal suppositories for three treatment courses. If the leukorrhea completely turns negative after three follow-up tests, the infection will be cured. However, it is essential to pay close attention to personal hygiene, bathe frequently, change clothes often, wear loose and breathable underwear, avoid spicy foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables. In addition to active treatment, maintaining a proper diet and ensuring adequate nutrition in daily life is also important for vaginal infections. I hope the above answer helps you. Thank you!
