Patient's question:
The other day, I carefully checked and found candidiasis. After the doctor treated it for 5 days, the symptoms basically disappeared. Now I'm just waiting for my period to end to go for a follow-up check. What kind of help do you need: Hello, how should the male side be treated? I bought a box of fluconazole capsules today, with a dosage of 0.1g each. He only took one, should he continue to take it attentively? How long should he take it for?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis (also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis) primarily presents with symptoms such as itching, burning pain, cottage cheese-like discharge, or creamy, clumpy white discharge that increases significantly. It is recommended to use alkaline solutions, such as 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water, to clean the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to favor the growth of fungi. After cleaning, insert miconazole tablets or clotrimazole suppositories into the vagina, with a dosage of 100,000 to 200,000 units per time, once daily, for a 14-day course. Additionally, applying 3% clotrimazole cream or triamcinolone acetonide econazole cream to the external genitalia can enhance the effectiveness.
