Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis last month. The doctor prescribed many medications and told me to take them as usual. But since menstrual blood flows through the vagina during menstruation, will it alleviate the inflammation? Do I need to prescribe additional related medications? How should I pay attention during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
If it is a fungal vaginal infection, it is essential to seek timely treatment. Fungal vaginal infections are relatively prone to recurring, so it is strongly recommended to strictly prohibit sexual intercourse during the treatment period. If you are on your menstrual period, do not use any medication. You can wait until your period ends before focusing on medication treatment. After two treatment cycles, some follow-up tests can be conducted. Fungal vaginal infections must be stabilized for two cycles to fully recover.For patients, if the vaginal infection is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the vaginal infection. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
