Patient's question:
Doctor, my sister has candidiasis. She bought many medications, but they weren't bought from a regular pharmacy, and anyway, they haven't been effective. Instead, they have side effects. What medications should be used to treat candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
If diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis, it is recommended that you receive proper treatment. Antifungal medications can be used. Follow the doctor's advice to use medications such as clotrimazole or nystatin tablets. After a week of treatment, perform a routine vaginal discharge test. If the routine vaginal discharge test is positive, further treatment is recommended. If the routine vaginal discharge test is negative, it is advised to repeat the test after the next menstrual period. Only after three consecutive negative routine vaginal discharge tests can it be confirmed that recovery has been achieved. Patients with vaginitis can use home remedies as supplementary treatment while receiving symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and never overeat or binge drink.
