Patient's question:
Itching in the vagina, excessive discharge, and the reappearance of cottage cheese-like material. The condition typically recurs every one to two months.Laboratory and examination results: The vaginal discharge test results were negative, but the examination results suggested poor hygiene.
Treatment with medication for several days. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The condition was initially treated for a month, but it recurred afterward and became frequent. I managed to control it by buying and using medication myself.
Current recurrence: I have had a two-year history of candidiasis.
Every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I use cold water from the faucet to rinse the inside of my vagina, washing away any residual fluid. Is this hygienic?
What kind of help I need: I have been with my boyfriend for two years, and we haven’t used protection for the past year, but we haven’t gotten pregnant. I have also taken birth control pills in the past. Could gynecological conditions be the reason I can’t get pregnant?
I hope for the doctor’s advice.
Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis can be caused by gynecological diseases. You have a fungal infection, and Western medicine is indeed difficult to completely cure it. Recommendations: To completely cure this condition, internal Chinese medicine treatment is necessary. This is caused by cold dampness, and drinking the medicinal decoction will definitely work. Using cold water to rinse after sexual activity is very wrong; this will further weaken the yang energy, and in the future, it may not just be a problem of vaginitis. For gynecological inflammation patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to personal care. For example, pay more attention to hygiene in the private area, and avoid sexual activity during medication. It is also necessary to remind female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
