Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with candidiasis. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: I used a course of 7 miconazole nitrate suppositories. On the first use, just after taking one, my symptoms completely disappeared. However, I still continued to use the remaining 6. It has been more than a month now, and I haven't had a recurrence after my period. I'm worried that it might not be fully healed, so I'm still using it diligently. Based on my condition, is it possible that my vaginal infection isn't very severe? Because it improved quickly with just one suppository, and it hasn't recurred since then. Should I continue using it now?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, even after treatment, still requires follow-up gynecological examinations and vaginal discharge tests at the hospital after each menstrual period, for a total of three consecutive times. If during this period, signs of candidal infection are detected even once, it cannot be considered fully cured, and there may be recurrence or reinfection, requiring focused treatment. Vaginitis is a condition that is difficult to recover from. Friends suffering from this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating vaginitis and believe that recovery is definitely achievable.
