Patient's question:
After taking oral ketoconazole capsules for vaginitis, the skin became bright red with blood clots. Hello, what could be the reason, and should I continue taking the medication? After the menstrual period, symptoms of vulvar itching, cheesy white discharge, and mild urinary tract infection reappeared. After taking Norfloxacin for two days and stopping it, I have started taking ketoconazole capsules, and it has been four days today. On the first day of medication, a large amount of abnormal white discharge was expelled. On the third day, there was mild peeling, and peeling had already started by the third day. Today morning, blood clots had already appeared.Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: I want to know the reason, whether the condition has worsened or is related to medication. How should I stop the medication.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you actively go to the hospital for a routine examination of vaginal discharge. Vaginitis can be classified into fungal, trichomoniasis, and mixed-bacteria vaginitis, among others. Treatment should be symptomatic after diagnosis for better efficacy. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, and spicy foods should be avoided in the diet. It is recommended to change underwear daily and wash it together with towels and basins. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is advisable to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to counterproductive results. The above suggestions are for reference only.
