Patient's question:
I have been experiencing a lot of leukorrhea recently, and I also have symptoms of vulvar itching. I'm worried that I might have a vaginal infection, but we don't have any vaginal douches at home. Nystatin cream is also an antifungal and anti-inflammatory medication, but I don't know if it can be used to treat vulvar itching. Could you please tell me if nystatin cream can treat vulvar itching?Doctor's answer:
Recurring vaginal itching and abnormal discharge may indicate the presence of vaginitis. Nystatin cream has antifungal properties and is primarily used to treat vaginal infections caused by yeast. For external genital itching, it is important to identify the underlying cause through proper examination. Without a thorough examination, it is not advisable to use medications blindly. Rest is essential, and in the meantime, you can gently clean the perineal area with warm water. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound and routine secretion examination as soon as possible.In addition to treating external genital itching, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
