Patient's question:
I think I might have candidiasis. Every time it's mid-cycle, the discharge has a bad odor, slightly yellow in color, and sometimes it's a bit like when it's severe. The external genital area is swollen, painful, and hot. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If infected with mold, it is recommended to use an alkaline solution of sodium bicarbonate to wipe the external genitalia and vagina, and then insert Nystatin suppositories into the vagina. Applying Clotrimazole cream to the external genitalia afterward can yield better results. Daily use of a cleansing solution to wipe the external genitalia and vagina is advisable, along with changing underwear every day and washing it together with towels and basins. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the recovery of vaginitis.
