Patient's question:
I have a gynecological disease, and I feel particularly uncomfortable downstairs. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have candidiasis of the vagina and prescribed some medication for me to take home. However, I still feel a lot of pain. The main issue is that it's extremely itchy, and the area is very sensitive to touch. I don't know how to reduce the swelling and relieve the pain?Doctor's answer:
If the condition of diagnosed candidal vulvitis is present, this situation can be considered for the use of a dehumidifying, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving wash to clean the external genitalia. Then, an external genital application of clotrimazole cream can be used to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Clotrimazole vaginal tablets can be inserted into the vagina. Additionally, for more pronounced itching, oral itraconazole or fluconazole can be taken. These medications are recommended to be used according to the doctor's advice from the gynecology department of the hospital.In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with vaginitis should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to replenish the body's nutrients. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you!
